I vatten dispergerbara förtjockningsmedel bestående av hydrofila polymerer överdragna med partikelformiga fettsyror eller deras salter

摘要

The present invention provides a water dispersible particulate polymer composition having improved water dispersibility comprising a water soluble particulate polymer which has been contacted with a finely divided particulate dispersant comprised of at least one insoluble or sparingly soluble fatty acid or salt thereof so that the particles of the water soluble particulate polymer have dispersed thereon said finely divided particulate dispersant, a method for making said water soluble particulate polymer composition, and the use thereof in viscosifying water-based fluids.
