An associative rheology modifier is obtained by coupling of a rheology modifier precursor with a coupling agent. The rheology modifier precursor is formed by reacting a rosin acid with a polyether at a mole ratio of the rosin acid to the polyether of >2:1, at a temperature from 180-350° C. and in the presence of an acid catalyst. The polyether has a molecular weight of 500-10,000 g/mol and the rheology modifier precursor has a water solubility of >10 wt. % concentration. The associative rheology modifier has a molecular weight (Mw) from 1500-25,000 g/mol. The associative rheology modifier shows a high shear thinning effect at low shear rate. A composition is also provided comprising the associative rheology modifier.

The present invention relates to an improved formaldehyde-free coated fibrous substrate. The coating includes a crosslinked binder system which forms three dimensional networks when heat cured. After the coating is applied to the back of fibrous substrate and cured, the coating is capable of hygroscopic expansion which imparts excellent anti-sag properties. The coating is compatible with other coating systems with neutral or mild alkaline pH. The improvement being the binding system is neutralized with a volatile base so that it evaporates quickly so as not to hinder the cross-linking reaction.
