Wesopret®
Thickener and floating agent
 Highly effective Easily soluble and distributable
Product description
Wesopret® is used as a thickening and floating agent in aqueous compounds and dispersions. Wesopret® A... are acrylate thickeners. They are used chiefly in neutral to alkaline systems. In acidic systems, the thickening effect could be negatively effected. In such cases, better results are provided by thickeners based on methyl cellulose, such as Wesopret® C 8 and Wesopret® C 5. Before use, a 2%-3% parent solution is prepared from Wesopret® C 8.
All Wesopret®-types are very compatible with SBR and natural latex, producing when just a small quantity is used a sharp increase in viscosity and an improvement in the settling behaviour of weighting materials.
