RHOPLEX® E-2961

RHOPLEX® E-2961 is a polyacrylate based polymer that contains carboxylic acid groups. This rheology modifier is a pre neutralized alkali-swellable emulsion which requires no pH adjustment. This RM offers a good combination of thickening efficiency and water holding. It is excellent for heavy paper and paperboard applications where heavy coat weights are common.
