A thixotropy imparting composition. The composition comprises the reaction products of: one or more polyesters from one or more polyols having at least two hydroxyl moieties; and one or more polycarboxylic acids having at least two carboxylic acid moieties; and one or more basic compounds, wherein said polyesters have at least two active carboxylic acid moieties as end groups and at least a portion of said carboxylic acid moieties are in the carboxylate anion form. This composition may further comprise one or more diluents. The composition exists as a liquid. The composition may be used in a non-aqueous fluid system as a rheological additive in combination with one or more particulate materials, wherein said rheological additive imparts thixotropy to said system.

摘要:
A water-borne latex paint system, comprising a base paint, an associative thickener, a colorant compound, and at least 0.1% dry weight of a block copolymer ABCBA composition. For the ABCBA polymer wherein the A component is a hydrophobic group A, the B component is a hydrophilic polymer B and the C component is a low molecular weight hydrophobic group C. The ABCBA-type polymer includes an A component which is a monomer unit containing a moiety selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group, an aryl group or an alkyl aryl group, the B component includes poly(ethylene glycol), and the C component is selected from the group of diols consisting of poly(tetrahydrofuran), poly(caprolactone) poly(carbonate), ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and 1,2-dodecanediol. The block copolymer acts as a viscosity stabilizer in the presence of associative thickeners.
