During application, water-based coatings may exhibit sagging, splattering, or dripping. Over time, sedimentation and separation can also occur. What can be done? Yoshida now introduces an anionic hydrophobic modified acrylic alkali-swellable thickener. This remarkable water-based thickener, 2520, can replace the imported TT935 thickener. It delivers low-shear thickening with anti-sag and sag-resistant properties. Adding this thickener to water-based coatings improves leveling, prevents sagging, splattering, or dripping during application, enhances stability, and reduces sedimentation and separation.
