Alcogum SL 117 is an acrylate-based emulsion copolymer supplied at 30% active solids in water. This product is part of a unique line of hydrophobically modified, alkali soluble emulsion polymers typically referred to as HASE thickeners. The Alcogum SL 117 manufacturing process enables fine control of the polymer structure and molecular weight. This provides provide optimized performance in a broad range of application areas, including: Adhesive and textile compounding Paint formulation Detergent and cleaning compositions Construction compounding Latex coatings Pigment mining Particulate suspension

- Storage Condition
ALCOGUM SL 117 is available in bulk, intermediate bulk and 55-gallon drums. Storage tanks should be plastic, fiberglass, or 316 stainless. Pumps should be low-shear type, such as diaphragm or peristaltic type with all wetted parts and lines being stainless steel, plastic or Teflon® .; Mild steel, copper, brass and aluminum should not be used. Filtering should be under low shear and volume flow conditions.; Freezing should be avoided as it destabilizes the emulsion. The recommended storage temperature is 15-35°C (59-95°F).; Dilution or pH adjustment of the product may require additional preservative to prevent biological growth. Keep containers tightly sealed to the prevent emulsion from air drying and forming a film.
- Application Details
Rheology modifier for hard surface cleaners. Add the emulsion slowly to the solution with good agitation, preferably as the last ingredient prior to neutralization.; Dilution of the ALCOGUM SL 117 with water can facilitate incorporation in viscous and/or alkaline formulations.; Optimum viscosity build occurs at or above pH 8. For consistent performance avoid partial neutralization and poor mixing. 0.219 parts Ammonium Hydroxide (28%) to 1.0 part ALCOGUM SL 117 (as received) 0.130 part Sodium Hydroxide (50%) to 1.0 part ALCOGUM SL 117 (as received).
