The Dow ACUSOL Dispersants are high-performing water-soluble polymers, designed to improve performance properties of detergent formulations for a full spectrum of household and industrial and institutional applications.
ACUSOL Dispersant polymers are designed to meet the challenge of varying and troublesome cleaning or washing conditions such as water hardness, high alkalinity, varying temperatures, and machine types.
ACUSOL Dispersant polymers can also allow polyphosphate levels to be reduced while maintaining performance, as well as overcome the shortcomings of non-phosphate formulations.
Benefits:
- Improve cleaning/detergency
- Reduce soil redeposition (superior whiteness retention)
- Minimize calcium salts encrustation on fabric
- Prevent scaling on equipment
- Minimize spotting and filming on glassware
- Allow for fast drying of surfaces
- Overcome shortcomings of phosphate-free formulations
- Reduce formulation costs
