Description

Dak 16 CAS NO 9050-15-1 is a high-purity, synthetic polymer widely recognized for its exceptional performance as a rheology modifier and stabilizer. This product is engineered to provide superior control over viscosity and texture in complex formulations, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency and process stability. It is an essential raw material for manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers (CASE) industries, as well as for producers of advanced construction materials and personal care products.

Application

• Coatings & Paints: Acts as a key rheology modifier to prevent sagging, improve leveling, and control viscosity in water-based and solvent-based systems.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Provides thickening and stabilizing properties, enhancing application performance and final bond strength.
• Construction Materials: Used in cementitious formulations, tile adhesives, and grouts to improve workability, water retention, and anti-sag characteristics.
• Personal Care: Functions as a thickener and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and gels to create desirable sensory profiles and product stability.
• Printing Inks: Modifies rheology to control flow behavior and pigment suspension for improved print quality.
• Industrial Cleaners: Enhances the viscosity and cling of cleaning formulations for vertical surface applications.

Quality Control

Our Dak 16 is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for viscosity, solids content, pH, and purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, documenting key parameters to support your quality assurance protocols and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and incompatible materials. For long-term storage, ensure the container is kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption or contamination.
