Scott Bader Thickener Technologies Texipol ® - Inverse Emulsion Texicryl ® - ASE/HASE technology Thickeners for water based systems

Scott Bader Thickener Technologies Texipol®  Water soluble monomers are polymerised in oil continuous phase.  Texipols are supplied as a free flowing liquid.  Texipols invert when added to water to allow the dispersed polymer to hydrate and swell.  Texipols are pre-neutralised, they are already activated and will thicken an aqueous system simply by addition.  Texipols give a degree of opacity to a formulation
