Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a structurally viscous thickener which contains a copolymer of acrylic acid and acrylamide, a polyacrylic acid and optionally a solvent, emulsifiers, a neutralizing agent and a deaerator as additional components. The thickener may be in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion and is particularly suitable for use in printing pastes for dyeing and printing fibre material, especially textile fabrics.

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
88 words
A thickener according to claim 1 which is in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion having a pH of 5.8 to 9 after being mixed with water in the ratio of 1:10 to 1:20 and containing, in addition to the polymers (A) and (B), hydrocarbons as water-insoluble solvent, alkanolamides of high molecular fatty acids, esters of polyalcohols and high molecular fatty acids and adducts thereof with an alkylene oxide as emulsifiers, ammonia, an alkanolamine or an alkali metal hydroxide as neutralizing agent and optionally an antifoam or deaerator.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
90 words
