Dow Acrysol AP-10 Associative Alkali-Swellable Thickener

Dow Acrysol AP-10 is a high-performance associative alkali-swellable thickener (AST) from Dow’s Acrysol polymer series. It delivers exceptional rheology control, viscosity build, and sag resistance in waterborne coatings and construction formulations. Compatible with surfactants and pigments, it enhances flow/leveling while maintaining shear-thinning behavior and long-term stability—ideal for architectural paints, mortars, and tile adhesives.

Features Of Dow Acrysol AP-10 Associative Alkali-Swellable Thickener

  1. Delivers high-shear viscosity control and excellent sag resistance in waterborne coatings.

  2. Provides outstanding flow and leveling performance without compromising brushability or rollability.

  3. Offers superior compatibility with anionic surfactants and common co-thickeners such as HEC and HASE types.

  4. Enables robust rheology modulation across a wide pH range (pH 7–10), activated efficiently by common alkaline builders.

  5. Delivers low VOC contribution and supports formulation flexibility in eco-friendly architectural and industrial coatings.

Typical Applications Of Dow Acrysol AP-10 Associative Alkali-Swellable Thickener

  1. Interior and exterior flat, eggshell, and satin architectural paints.

  2. Waterborne industrial maintenance coatings for metal and concrete substrates.

  3. Low-VOC decorative wall coatings and texture finishes.

  4. Stain-blocking primers and universal base paints.

  5. Water-based wood stains and clear finishes requiring non-drip rheology.
