  • Patent number: 8487089
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a water-soluble associative cellulose ether having a DP viscosity from 250 to 20,000 mPa·s, measured at a concentration of 1% by weight, and a molecular substitution, MS, from 0.0001 to 0.005 of a hydrophobic substituent containing an unsubstituted or substituted hydrocarbon group of 8-24 carbon atoms. The cellulose ether has a good thickening effect and advantageous application properties at low contents and can be used in an aqueous decorative paint composition, an aqueous paper coating composition, an aqueous organic filler composition, an aqueous cement slurry, an aqueous detergent composition or an aqueous personal care formulation.

  • Patent number: 6639066
    Abstract: This invention relates to a suspension of a water-soluble, nonionic cellulose ether having a fairly low content of an electrolytic salt exhibiting a high stability and a low viscosity. The suspension having a pH-value of below 8.0, contains 10-30% by weight of a water-soluble, nonionic cellulose ether, and 10-22% by weight of an electrolytic salt, wherein the electrolytic salt contains a) 10-90% by weight of a salt of polyphosphate having 3-12 phosphate groups, and b) 10-90% by weight of a salt selected from the group consisting of ortophosphate, pyrophosphate, sulphate, carbonate and a mixture thereof. The suspension is advantageously produced by adding a dry blend containing the water-soluble cellulose ether in cross-linked form and the electrolytic salt to water.

  • Patent number: 6150445
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous concentrate of an associative thickening polymer, the concentrate containing a nonionic surfactant as viscosity-reducing agent. The nonionic surfactant is water-soluble and has the formulaRO(--AO--).sub.(a) H (1)wherein R is an alkyl group having 6-12 carbon atoms and AO is an ethyleneoxy or propyleneoxy group, the ratio of the ethyleneoxy groups to the total number of ethyleneoxy and propyleneoxy groups being from 1:2 to 5:6, and a is a number between 7 and 16. The presence of a small amount of the nonionic surfactant results in a surprisingly great reduction of the viscosity, which permits the formulation of concentrates having high percentages of the associative polymer without negatively affecting the properties when the concentrate is used for thickening purposes.

  • Patent number: 5898072
    Abstract: The invention concerns an aqueous suspension of a non-ionic, water-soluble cellulose ether cross-linked with glyoxal, in the presence of an electrolytic salt which gives a pH value below 8.0 in water and at the concentration involved. Conveniently, the suspension is produced by mixing the water included with a dry blend containing the cellulose ether and the electrolytic salt, and preferably the other components of the suspension as well.

  • Patent number: 5837864
    Abstract: In a method of producing a suspension of a nonionic cellulose ether that has no turbidity point, the water forming part of the suspension is mixed with a dry mixture containing a cellulose ether, which is cross-linked with glyoxal, and an electrolyte salt. This electrolyte salt consists of a salt of a mixture of salts which, in water and at the concentration employed, results in a pH value below 8.0. Preferably, the cellulose ether is a hydroxyethylcellulose.

  • Patent number: 5496908
    Abstract: A water-soluble polyurethane, including a polymer backbone; end groups provided on the ends of the polymer backbone and containing water-soluble oxyethylene groups having a molecular weight ranging from 400 to 15,000, and groups pendant from the polymer backbone and containing hydrocarbon groups having 8-22 carbon atoms, in a number of at least 0.1 per urethane bond. The water-soluble polyurethane has moderate viscosities in aqueous solution and is especially useful as a thickener, for instance, in alkyd- or latex-based paints.
