Texipol 63-258 is an inverse emulsion thickener that imparts a highly pseudoplastic rheology to aqueous based compositions. It is supplied as a pre-neutralized dispersion, as the ammonium salt of an acrylic copolymer.This product acts as a thickener for various aqueous based adhesive and coating systems. In particular it can be used to thicken anionic bituminous systems, shoe creams and textured coatings.

Applications
  • TEXIPOL® 63-258 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® 63-258 has been used to thicken various water- based adhesives and coatings. In particular it has found use in anionic bituminous coatings, shoe creams and textured coating systems. Like other TEXIPOL® thickeners it can thicken mildly acidic systems, 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.
