Features Of Dow ACULYN 2051 Rheology Modifier Leveling Agent

  1. High-efficiency associative thickener delivering balanced low-shear viscosity and excellent flow/leveling performance.

  2. Provides outstanding sag resistance in vertical applications without compromising brushability or spray atomization.

  3. Compatible with a broad range of anionic, nonionic, and zwitterionic surfactants commonly used in waterborne systems.

  4. Enables robust rheological stability across varying pH (7.5–10.5) and electrolyte concentrations.

  5. Reduces surface defects such as orange peel, roller marks, and cratering in architectural and industrial coatings.

Typical Applications Of Dow ACULYN 2051 Rheology Modifier Leveling Agent

  1. Waterborne architectural paints (interior and exterior flat to semi-gloss formulations).

  2. Industrial maintenance coatings for metal and concrete substrates.

  3. Wood coatings including stains, primers, and clear topcoats.

  4. Automotive refinish basecoats and clearcoats requiring defect-free film formation.

  5. Water-based adhesives and sealants requiring controlled open time and anti-drip performance.
