ACRYSOL™ DR-73 Rheology Modifier is a synthetic liquid thickener that provides a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to cellulosic thickeners in interior flat latex paints. ACRYSOL™ DR-73 offers application and feel properties similar to medium-grade cellulosic thickeners and hydrophobically modified HEC thickeners, while increasing high shear viscosity for enhanced film build, brush drag, and hiding power. It also delivers outstanding spatter resistance. ACRYSOL™ DR-73 is easy to handle and incorporate into paint formulations, and it is designed to resist microbial contamination.
