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 2
Dependent Claim
63 words
A thickener composition which contains (A) a crosslinked copolymer of acrylic acid and acrylamide having a molar ratio of acrylic acid to acrylamide of 1:0.9 to 1:1.1 and a molecular weight of 1.10 6 to 6.10 6 , and (B) a polyacrylic acid having a molecular weight of 6·10 5 to 1·10 6 , the weight ratio of (A):(B) being 0.15:1 to 30:1.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
A thickener according to claim 1 in which the copolymer (A) of acrylic acid and acrylamide and the polyacrylic acid (B) are structurally viscous in aqueous medium.
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
A thickener according to claim 1 which contains 15 to 30% by weight of the polymers (A) and (B), 10 to 30% by weight of paraffin oil as solvent, 3 to 15% by weight of ethanolamides of fatty acids, sorbitan fatty acid esters and adducts thereof with ethylene oxide as emulsifiers, 5 to 10% by weight of an aqueous 25% to 35% solution of sodium hydroxide as neutralizing agent, 0 to 2% by weight of a high boiling hydrocarbon as optional deaerator and 13 to 67% by weight of water.
