ACRYSOL™ DR-5500 Rheology Modifier
An APEO-free*, solvent-free*, hydrophobically modified, alkali-soluble emulsion (HASE) rheology modifier for waterborne coatings. The product is effective in improving the high shear (ICI) viscosity of waterborne coatings, resulting in coatings that have high film build characteristicsfor improved hiding and appearance. It is delivered as a low viscosity liquid to allow for easy handling and easy incorporation during the manufacturing process.
Uses:
- Interior and exterior paints
- Wide range of sheen through high gloss paints, including low-VOC formulations
- Water-based architectural and industrial coatings
- Utility with all binder types
- Additive applications
- Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS)
- Paint/coatings
- Paper
- Textiles
- Paper processing and finishing
- Building and construction
- Nonwoven binders
- General industrial finishes
- Art conservation applications
- Water-based industrial baking enamels
Benefits:
- Broad formulation latitude
- Ease of handling
- Use over a wide pH range
- Reduced levels required for comparable rheology
- Improved gloss development versus HEC
- Most offerings ideal for low VOC formulations
- Product offerings across different sheer ranges
- Excellent spatter resistance
- Broad latex compatibility
- APEO Free*
*made without APEO-containing surfactant
