Sodium Polyacrylate
- INCI:
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Also known as:
- Acrylic dispersant · Sodium salt of polyacrylic acid
Low-molecular-weight acrylic polymer used as a dispersant for pigments and mineral fillers in water-based paints. It reduces grinding viscosity and improves dispersion stability, which is associated with better color development and less settling. It also acts as a scale inhibitor in water circuits.
Functions
Typical applications
- Water-based paints and coatings
- Grinding of calcium carbonate and kaolin

See the whole Industrial line →Anionic Polyacrylamide
High-molecular-weight polymeric flocculant with an anionic charge, used as a coagulation aid in solid-liquid separation. It accelerates floc sedimentation and improves the clarity of treated water in combination with inorganic coagulants. Grade selection is carried out through testing according to the type of solid to be removed.
Cationic Polyacrylamide
Polymeric flocculant with a cationic charge, especially used in the conditioning and dewatering of organic sludge. It neutralizes the surface charges of biological solids and facilitates the formation of flocs resistant to mechanical shear in filter presses, centrifuges, and belt presses. It is dosed as a diluted solution prepared on site.
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose
Hydroxyethylcellulose
Nonionic, water-soluble cellulosic thickener, a standard in water-based architectural paints for viscosity control, water retention, and storage stability. It provides good leveling and spatter resistance during application. It is also used as a rheology modifier in gels and personal care products.
Mineral Oil-Based Defoamer
Defoaming formulation based on mineral oil with hydrophobic particles, designed for foam control in the manufacture and application of water-based paints. It acts both in the grinding stage and during filling, helping to reduce film defects such as craters and microbubbles. Compatibility testing is recommended for each formulation.
