ACRYSOL™ DR-6600

ACRYSOL™ DR-6600 offers the same performance as ACRYSOL RM-6, but without the use of APEO surfactants. ACRYSOL DR-6600 offers excellent gloss, film build and flow in latex paints. ACRYSOL DR-6600 is both APEO-free and solventfree and is thus well suited to meeting the latest regulatory requirements, under the proper conditions, for waterborne paints and coatings. ACRYSOL DR-6600 is effective in improving the high shear (ICI Cone and; Plate) viscosity, resulting in coatings that have high film build characteristics for improved hiding and appearance. Other benefits to the manufacturer include a virtual absence of roller spatter and the full realization of gloss potential for latex paints. Since ACRYSOL DR-6600 is of the hydrophobically-modified alkali-soluble chemistry it offers excellent long-term viscosity stability because it is inherently resistant to degradation through both enzymatic and bacterial routes.

Product Uses
  • ACRYSOL DR-6600 Rheology Modifier is recommended for use in interior flat through gloss paints.
  • It can also be used in exterior coatings as long as formulators exercise caution to minimize potential water sensitivity problems such as early blister.
  • If water sensitivity is an issue, a nonionic HEUR associative thickener such as ACRYSOL RM-2020NPR or ACRYSOL RM-5000 may be effective.
  • ACRYSOL DR-6600 Rheology Modifier is supplied as a low viscosity liquid that is easy to handle and incorporate during the manufacturing process. It is ideally suited for automated or metered addition systems.
