Associative monomer with an oxo alcohol base, an acrylic polymer containing this monomer, use of the said polymer as a thickening agent in an aqueous formulation, formulation

摘要

Among the conventional HASEs, the only ones which prove genuinely effective in developing Newtonian profiles are thickening agents having an associative monomer which contains ethoxylated alkylphenols. Such materials are described in the literature for the synthesis of the associative monomer of a HASE-type thickening agent, and show that the resulting polymer enables Newtonian rheological profiles to be developed once introduced into a waterborne paint. Nonetheless, alkylphenols are currendy widely suspected of being carcinogenic, and dangerous for disruption of reproductive cycles.
