other thickeners fade out... ours don't. Thickening costs are a d r o p in the bucket—when you add GAF Thickeners L and LN to latex and emulsion systems. The thickening efficiency of these new synthetic agents, at l o w concentrations, is phenomenal. (Check the graph.) Both GAF Thickeners are a modified f o r m of Gantrez® A N (polyvinyl methyl ether/maleic anhydride.) They're readily dilutable in water—so cleanup time is m i n i m a l . . . require no p H adjustment before u s e . , .disperse quickly—to free mixing e q u i p m e n t in the shortest possible time. They're compatible w i t h pigment and paint vehicles, and keep latices smooth and free-flowing. GAF Thickeners perform so w e l l that they are often used as primary f l o w - o u t and leveling aids in latex p a i n t s . . . as w e l l as being excellent thickeners for rug and upholstery b a c k i n g . . . adhesives . . . print pastes. But whatever latex or emulsion system y o u produce— GAF can put you in the thick of it. 32
