ACUSOL™
Unlock formulation flexibility with ACUSOL™. This advanced line offers efficient viscosity control, suspension stability, and compatibility across personal care, household, industrial, and coating applications.
The ACUSOL™ line from Dow offers a diverse range of polymeric rheology modifiers tailored for different formulation needs, enabling formulators to achieve desired viscosity, suspension, and stability properties in various waterborne systems across multiple industries.
Dow Chemical's Acusol™ products are effective rheology modifiers based on ASE (Alkali Soluble Emulsion), HASE (Hydrophobically-modified Alkali Soluble Emulsion) and HEUR (Hydrophobically-modified Ethoxylated Urethane) chemistry.
Improve Your Detergents with Acusol™ from Dow Chemical
With many grades to choose from, they have a viscosity range from 10 to 11,000 cP. They are used in fabric softeners, high-alkaline laundry liquids, household laundry detergents and dishwashing detergents.
Enhance Your Surface Cleaners with Acusol™ from Dow Chemical
Used in abrasive cleaners, floor cleaners, hard-surface cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners, oven and grill cleaners. They have a viscosity range from 10 to 11,000 cP. All AcusolTM grades are available in a liquid form to provide ease of use, no dusting/non-hygroscopic with no preparation required.
Keep it Clean with Acusol™ Dispersants from Dow Chemical
Acusol™ dispersants from Dow Chemical are acrylic acid homo-polymer, acrylate co-polymer, and modified acrylate chemistries designed to prevent scale formation and fabric encrustation. They come in a variety of forms for different detergent bases. Additionally, Acusol™ dispersants prevent clay and oil redeposition, enhance soil removal, scatter inorganic particles and pigments, sequester polyvalent metal ions, and assist in the preparation of high solids, low viscosity inorganic slurries.
