Alcogum® L Series Rheology Modifiers are ASE (alkali soluble emulsion) acrylate-based emulsion copolymers typically supplied at 20-40% active solids in water. The processes employed in manufacture of Alcogum L-Series products allow fine control of the polymer structure and molecular weight for optimized performance in a broad range of application areas including paper and paperboard coating, adhesive and textile compounding, paint formulation, detergent and cleaning compositions, construction compounding, latex coatings, pigment mining, and particulate suspension. Alcogum L-Series technology also includes a unique line of hydrophobically modified alkali soluble emulsion products typically referred to as HASE thickeners. These products provide precise control of low and high shear viscosity in aqueous formulations.

Alcogum L 520 is designed to provide novel performance in cationic systems. This product also demonstrates the unique ability to provide efficient viscosity build to both alkaline and acidic systems containing a high concentration of nonionic, cationic, and/or anionic surfactants.

* Alcoclear, Alcodrill and Alcoflow : Solid as aqueous solutions, but can also be made available as spray-dried powders of granules.
* Floc AID : Medium Mw to adsorb at the oil/water interface, to reduce interfacial tension and improve oil coalescence.Both demulsifier components and water clarification agents.
* Versa-TL sulfonated Polymers: sulfonated-styrene homopolymers and maleic acid-containg copolymers extreme high temperature stability.The highest Mw variants of this chemistry exhibit fluid loss control properties.
