Syneresis and Rheology Mechanisms of a Latex-HEUR Associative Thickener System

Abstract: Syneresis and Rheology Mechanisms of a Latex-HEUR Associative Thickener SystemTravis Bruno Smith Rheology modifiers are used in paints and coatings to ease their application to a surface, prevent sagging once applied, and allow the leveling of brushstrokes, among other benefits. The early rheology modifiers were hydroxyethyl celluloses (HECs), a type of non-associative thickener that is relatively inexpensive and synthesized from cellulose, which is abundant. However, coatings that are modified with HECs tend … Show more
