Alcogum L 265 is a water-soluble thickener for anionic bitumen or oil emulsions, including products also containing minerals. It is an acrylate-based emulsion copolymer supplied at 30% active solids in water. This product is part of a unique line of hydrophobically modified, alkali soluble emulsion polymers typically referred to as HASE thickeners.

Features
  • Easy to use: Alcogum L-265 is a low viscosity liquid thickener easy to incorporate in the soap phase of anionic emulsions. It should be added before addition of alkali. Alcogum L-265 may be post added into emulsion, but in that case should be diluted 1-3 times in water to ensure good distribution.
  • Higher viscosity: The product provides higher viscosity, allowing specifications to be met at the lowest residue content and preventing settlement during storage
  • Improved emulsion quality: The use of Alcogum L-265 in the soap solution generally results in smaller emulsion particle size and allows a reduction in emulsifier dosage.
  • Easy to handle liquid thickeners for anionic emulsions.
  • Easy to handle liquid thickeners for anionic emulsions with high temperature stability
