Features Of Dow ACRYSOL DR-50 Rheology Modifier

  1. Non-ionic associative thickener delivering excellent low-shear viscosity and sag resistance.

  2. Provides outstanding compatibility with anionic surfactants and common co-thickeners in waterborne systems.

  3. Enables robust rheological performance across wide pH range (pH 4–12) and temperature stability up to 60 °C.

  4. Offers low odor, non-VOC formulation suitability, and improved brushability and spatter resistance in architectural coatings.

  5. Delivers efficient viscosity build at low dosage levels (typically 0.2–0.8 wt% on total formulation).

Typical Applications Of Dow ACRYSOL DR-50 Rheology Modifier

  1. Interior and exterior architectural latex paints.

  2. Textured decorative coatings and plasters.

  3. Water-based primers and sealers.

  4. Industrial maintenance coatings for metal and concrete substrates.

  5. Tile grouts and cementitious repair mortars (when formulated for water-based systems).
