Textile Thickener
CAS Number: 9003-01-4
Textile thickener is a synthetic acrylic or natural gum-based rheology modifier used to build viscosity in textile printing pastes, coating formulations, and finishing baths. It provides pseudoplastic flow behavior that enables sharp print definition in screen and rotary printing while allowing easy squeegee action. Available in alkali-thickening and salt-tolerant grades to suit various printing and coating applications.
