ACRYSOL™ DR-110

ACRYSOL™ DR-110 Rheology Modifier is effective at building viscosity in a wide range of water-borne coatings formulations, from flat to semigloss. It offers application and feel properties to coatings that is very similar to those of hydroxyethylcellulose thickeners, particularly the hydrophobically modified type. Thus, it can provide a very cost-effective alternative to these cellulosic thickeners.

Formulation Information
  • Since ACRYSOL™ DR-110 Rheology Modifier is an alkali-soluble emulsion, it requires pH between 8 and 10 for efficient thickening. At the mill base stage, if extenders such as calcium carbonate are present, the alkaline nature of the mill base is typically sufficient to allow ACRYSOL DR-110 Rheology Modifier to give a mill base viscosity high enough for good dispersion without the need for additional base.
  • However, after the dispersion is completed, if necessary, addition of a base is suggested to raise the pH to between pH 8 and 10. If incorporating ACRYSOL DR-110 Rheology Modifier in the letdown stage, diluting it with water 1:1 prior to addition is recommended.
  • The letdown should also be adjusted to be between pH 8 and 10 with the addition of additional base as needed. ACRYSOL DR-110 Rheology Modifier is supplied as a low viscosity liquid that is easy to pour and pump.
  • It is especially attractive to use when bulk handling and automatic metering equipment are employed.

Product Properties
  • ACRYSOL DR-110 Rheology Modifier is a synthetic, liquid thickener based on anionic, acrylic chemistry.
  • ACRYSOL DR-110 Rheology Modifier is easy to handle and incorporate and does not itself support the growth of mildew. It can be incorporated into the mill base, before or after addition of pigments and extenders, to give sufficient viscosity for good grinding efficiency.
  • Alternatively, ACRYSOL DR-110 Rheology Modifier can be added during the let down stage of a coating’s manufacture.
