Features Of Dow ACRYSOL ASE60 Alkali Swellable Thickener

  1. High-efficiency rheology modification in low-VOC and zero-VOC architectural coatings.

  2. Excellent mid-shear viscosity control for optimal brush/roller application and spatter resistance.

  3. Strong compatibility with common co-thickeners (e.g., HEC, HEUR) enabling synergistic formulation flexibility.

  4. Stable thickening performance across broad pH range (pH 8.5–10.5) without premature gelation.

  5. Low foaming characteristics, minimizing need for additional defoamer dosage in final formulations.

Typical Applications Of Dow ACRYSOL ASE60 Alkali Swellable Thickener

  1. Interior and exterior flat to satin architectural latex paints.

  2. Textured coatings and decorative plasters.

  3. Primer-sealers and dryfall coatings.

  4. Low-odor and eco-label-compliant wall coatings (e.g., GreenGuard, EMICODE).
