Alcoguard 5800 is a hydrophobically modified alkali swellable rheology modifier emulsion. It can be used in formula systems (e.g., electrolyte solutions, surfactants, etc.) with high levels of surfactants or electrolytes that adversely affect other thickeners.
When the pH value of the system is greater than 7, Alcoguard 5800 efficiently thickens and stabilizes most water-based formulas. For some special formula systems and with the proper formulation technique, when the design is reasonable and the pH is below 7, Alcoguard 5800 can also effectively work as a thickener.
