Dow ACRYSOL DR72 Associative Thickener

Dow ACRYSOL DR72 is a hydrophobically modified alkali-soluble emulsion (HASE) associative thickener from Dow’s ACRYSOL™ polymer series. It delivers excellent viscosity build, shear-thinning behavior, and robust rheology control in waterborne paints and coatings—especially under high-shear conditions and varying pH levels.
