Abstract

An interpolymer useful in the thickening of aqueous acids comprising (A) about 20 to about 99.0 mole % acrylamide or N-vinyllactam, (B) about 0.5 to about 10 mole % long-chain containing vinyl monomer derivatives having the formula: ##EQU1## wherein Y represents hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl or phenyl PA1 X represents oxygen, sulfur, carboxy or carbonamido; and PA1 R represents a hydrocarbon group containing from about 6 to about 36 carbon atoms including normal chain alkyl, branched chain alkyl, cycloalkyl and alkylaryl and (C) about 0.5 to 79.5 mole % of a cationic moiety.
