PSEM-THX Liquid Thickener

"PSEM-THX" is liquid thickener specially designed to remain stable in low pH conditions and can be conveniently blended with any Cationic Bitumen Emulsion. Unlike solid thickeners which require blending with soap water before making Bitumen Emulsion, "PSEM-THX" can be easily mixed after making bitumen emulsions and provide excellent viscosity increase with low dose requirement.

"PSEM-THX" in addition to increased viscosity, also make Bitumen Emulsions better stable on storage. A Cationic Bitumen Emulsion stabilized with "PSEM-THX" remains fully usable for minimum 1 year even when stored in open area during summers and winters. "PSEM-THX" also prevent breaking of Bitumen Emulsion on addition of water (even in high volumes).

Physical Properties :
Turbid white thick liquid at room temperature with characteristic odour,. Miscible with water and Cationic Bitumen Emulsions of all grades. Ready to use product for post-addition after formation and cooling of Bitumen Emulsion. Improves viscosity, storage stability and the water dilution properties of bitumen emulsion. Stable even on very low pH.
