Dow B-60 Acrylic Resin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of Dow B-60 Acrylic Resin in coating formulations?

A: Dow B-60 Acrylic Resin functions primarily as a rheology modifier and film-forming aid, helping to improve viscosity control, sag resistance, and leveling performance in waterborne architectural and industrial coatings.


Q2: Is Dow B-60 compatible with common waterborne acrylic and vinyl acetate-based emulsions?

A: Yes, Dow B-60 is designed for broad compatibility with typical anionic and nonionic waterborne polymer dispersions, including acrylic, styrene-acrylic, and vinyl acetate copolymer systems, without inducing coagulation or viscosity instability.


Q3: How should Dow B-60 be incorporated into a formulation to ensure optimal performance?

A: It is recommended to add Dow B-60 during the let-down stage, after the main binder and pigments have been dispersed. Pre-dilution with water or co-solvent may facilitate uniform incorporation, and gentle mixing is advised to avoid air entrapment.


Q4: Does Dow B-60 contribute to final film properties such as gloss or scrub resistance?

A: While not a primary film former, Dow B-60 supports improved film continuity and surface uniformity, which can positively influence gloss development and enhance mechanical durability—including scrub and abrasion resistance—in cured coatings.
