Texipol 63-201 is an inverse emulsion thickener that imparts a stringy and mildly pseudoplastic rheology to aqueous based compositions. It is supplied as a pre-neutralized dispersion, as the sodium salt of an acrylic copolymer. It is a high efficiency thickener used for carpet backing compounds with long flow character.

Applications
  • TEXIPOL® 63-201 is supplied as an easy to use, low viscosity liquid that gives almost instantaneous thickening when mixed directly into aqueous formulations. As the polymer is already in solution it does not require any neutralization or addition of other additives to promote thickening.
  • TEXIPOL® 63-201 has been used in the thickening pH of highly filled carpet backing compounds and in adhesives and coatings where stringy/long flow behavior improves the wet tack. Like other TEXIPOL® thickeners it can thicken systems as low as ~ pH 5, but is most efficient at pH>7. Typical thickener dosages are probably 0.5-2.0%, though this is system dependent and higher paste viscosities may require higher addition levels.
