Abstract

A non-aqueous liquid concentrate includes starch, an acrylic acid homopolymer salt, vegetable oil, and clay. The non-aqueous liquid concentrate forms an aqueous dispersion when added to water and is capable of clinging to a surface.

Claims (19)

1. An aqueous dispersion composition comprising;

water; and a non-aqueous liquid concentrate consisting essentially of:

starch;

an acrylic acid homopolymer salt;

vegetable oil; and

up to 5 wt. % clay;

wherein, the non-aqueous liquid concentrate forms an aqueous dispersion when added to water and is capable of clinging to a surface, each percentage based on the concentrate; and wherein the aqueous dispersion has a neutral pH, is shear thinning and thixotropic.

2. The aqueous dispersion according to claim 1 wherein the aqueous dispersion has solids concentration in a range from 0.5 to 3 wt. %.

3. A non-aqueous liquid concentrate comprising:

starch;

an acrylic acid homopolymer salt;

vegetable oil; and

clay;

wherein, the non-aqueous liquid concentrate comprises 40-60 wt. % solids, forms an aqueous dispersion when added to water and is capable of clinging to a surface, each percentage based on the concentrate.

4. An aqueous dispersion composition comprising;

water; and

the non-aqueous liquid concentrate according to claim 3 ;

wherein the aqueous dispersion has a neutral pH, is shear thinning and thixotropic.

5. The aqueous dispersion according to claim 4 wherein the aqueous dispersion has solids concentration in a range from 0.5 to 3 wt. %.
