Features Of Dow ACRYSOL RM725 Hydrophobically modified alkali Swellable Thickener

  1. Delivers excellent rheology control and high-shear viscosity recovery in waterborne coatings.

  2. Provides superior sag resistance and leveling balance without compromising spatter resistance.

  3. Offers robust thickening performance across a broad pH range (pH 7.5–10.5) after alkaline activation.

  4. Enhances scrub resistance and film integrity due to hydrophobic association network formation.

  5. Compatible with a wide range of surfactants, coalescents, and functional additives in architectural and industrial formulations.

Typical Applications Of Dow ACRYSOL RM725 Hydrophobically modified alkali Swellable Thickener

  1. Interior and exterior architectural flat and low-sheen latex paints.

  2. High-performance industrial maintenance coatings.

  3. Textured decorative coatings and elastomeric wall systems.

  4. Water-based primers and sealers requiring controlled flow and anti-dripping behavior.
