- Alkali Swellable Emulsion (ASE) Thickener
DeCAL 1007 is a hydrophobically modified synthetic alkali swellable , solvent free and liquid thickener for water borne systems. It is highly effective to increase low shear viscosities as well as yield values. Levels of use can thus be significantly reduced in replacing the usual low shear effective thickeners by DeCAL 1007.

- Application Methods
Rheological control additives should preferably be added at the final stage of coating manufacturing, not in the pigment grinding stage as unrecoverable damage to the thixotropic rheology can occur at high shear stress. DeCAL 1007 is convenient to add as a post additive in liquid form thereby, offering flexibility in viscosity adjustment from batch to batch.; Provided efficient mixing equipment is available DeCAL 1007 can be poured directly into the mix. However it is sometimes easier to add DeCAL 1007 by diluting it 1:1 or even 1:2 with water to avoid shocking the system.; Should at any time the pH of the final system fall below 7.5 then additional alkali, ammonium or other base is necessary to reactivate the thickening mechanism. Use of volatile alkali (e.g. ammonia) as neutralizing agent improves the water resistance property of the dry film. The amount of DeCAL 1007 required for optimum performance should be determined in trials covering a concentration range.
