"The result is an attractive alternative to HMHEC for thickening a full range of waterbome latex coatings, from flat to semi-gloss and across all binder types."

In many formulations, ACRYSOL DR-110 Rheology Modifier builds viscosity with noticeably better efficiency than either HMHEC or HEC, resulting in notable use-cost savings.

(40-46) They have been utilized to probe hydrophobic interactions in aqueous solutions of HEUR, (43) HASE, (42) HMHEC, (45) and other (44), (46) polymers.

Shear-thickening in aqueous surfactant-associative thickener mixtures

HMHEC, HASE, and three HEUR thickeners were used in this study.

The increases in viscosity in HMHEC solutions were not as dramatic (Figure 3).
