TEXICRYL® 13-814 is a styrene acrylic copolymer aqueous dispersion with excellent flexibility and adhesion properties. TEXICRYL 13-814 is suitable for use as the main binder in flexo or gravure inks and has good clarity so is suitable for offset overprint.

TEXICRYL^® 13-400 is a cationic emulsion binder specially designed for textile applications using processes like pigment dyeing, mordant and printing.

TEXIPOL® 63-510 is an inverse emulsion thickener that imparts highly pseudoplastic rheology to aqueous-based compositions. It is supplied as a pre-neutralized dispersion as the sodium salt of an acrylic copolymer and shows thickening over a very wide pH range of 2-12. It can thicken both acidic and alkaline compositions and gives stable thickening in various organic acids such as citric and glycolic acid. It will also thicken phosphoric acid effectively. Thickening is normally achieved quite quickly, but in stronger acid and alkaline environments, maximum thickening may take somewhat longer. TEXIPOL® 63-510 has been used to thicken various water-based adhesives and coating systems where it gives an exceptionally creamy consistency. It has also been possible to thicken aqueous blends with N-methylol pyrollidone and other polar solvents. Typical thickener dosages are 0.5-2.0%, though this is system-dependent and higher paste viscosities may require higher addition levels.

TEXIPOL®63-513 is a next-generation inverse emulsion synthetic thickener based on a significant proportion of bio-derived content which imparts pseudoplastic rheology to aqueous compositions and is supplied as a pre-neutralized dispersion as the sodium salt of an acrylic-based polymer. It has broad pH compatibility (4-12).
