DeCAL 1203HC is a highly efficient anionic liquid polymer dispersion in a non-aqueous carrier used as a general-purpose thickener giving short flow rheology across a wide pH range. DeCAL 1203HC is provided in a highly concentrated form, providing good viscosity at low concentrations. DeCAL 1203HC is another high-performance product, complementing the DeCAL 1200 range of liquid dispersion-type thickeners.

- Storage Condition
DeCAL 1203HC is freeze thaw stable, however it is recommended to store the product at temperatures above 5°C to enable easy handling of the product.; DeCAL 1203HC is stable for more than 1 year at 20°C in closed containers.; It is quite normal for DeCAL 1203HC to exhibit some slight phase separation on prolonged storage. To maintain optimal performance it is therefore recommended that DeCAL 1203HC is mixed thoroughly every 2 months.
- Application Methods
DeCAL 1203HC should be added directly to the coating mix with high efficiency mixing in order to avoid localized thickening. If necessary dilution with the carrier oil can aid addition.; DeCAL 1203HC will generally thicken quite rapidly, but the rate of activation is dependent upon temperature, speed of mixing and medium to be thickened.; DeCAL 1203HC functions most effectively as a thickening agent under mildly alkaline conditions however DeCAL 1203HC is also active over the whole pH range (pH 4.0 - 11.0). In order to obtain optimum performance it is recommended that the pH of the coating is adjusted with ammonia (25%) or another suitable alkali.
