| Casastab T |
 |
CASASTAB T is a thickening agent for latex compounds. It is recommended particularly where a moderate increase in viscosity is required, for example in dipping compounds and adhesives.
CASASTAB T does not need to be diluted with water
the following procedure should be followed carefully when adding to latex:
1. CASASTAB T should be added after all other ingredients of the compound.
2. About ten times its own weight of latex (or latex compound) should be gradually stirred into the CASASTAB T. This blend should then be added to the bulk of the latex compound. Failure to take these precautions may lead to poor dispersion of other compounding ingredients or non-homogeneous distribution of the CASASTAB T resulting in undispersible lumps. The thickening increases with the dosage used and small additions should be made to reach the required viscosity.
CASASTAB T does not affect the colour of the latex product and is not susceptible to attack by bacteria and fungi.
CASASTAB T is not recommended for the preparation of very viscous spreading compounds or doughs |
