Molecular weight (MW)
Lower MW can help with scale-control/threshold behavior in some formulations, while higher MW can improve dispersion and anti-redeposition. Select MW based on viscosity targets and solids behavior.

Lead time depends on grade, lane & volume
Commercial note: Polyacrylates are not “one-size-fits-all.” The right grade depends on particle type (pigment/filler), solids loading, ionic strength, pH window, and shear. Share your formulation targets and we’ll propose the correct grade window and supply lane.
What it does
Polyacrylate dispersants are water-soluble anionic polymers that help keep particles separated and evenly distributed in liquid media. By adsorbing onto particle surfaces, they can increase repulsion and reduce agglomeration, improving dispersion efficiency and stability. This also helps reduce re-deposition of loosened soils/solids in cleaning systems and process circuits.
Dispersion efficiency
Improves wetting and de-agglomeration of pigments, fillers, and mineral fines—supporting lower viscosity at a given solids loading (system dependent).
Stability / anti-settling
Helps stabilize suspensions by limiting flocculation; supports more uniform storage and application behavior.
Anti-redeposition
Keeps detached soils and particulates dispersed, reducing reattachment onto surfaces during wash cycles (especially in alkaline cleaning).
Common application sectors
Detergents & industrial cleaners, pigment slurries, mineral suspensions, ceramics, water-based coatings (where compatible), construction admixtures (specific acrylic grades), and certain water treatment/scale-control formulations.
What grade choice affects
Molecular weight (MW), degree of neutralization and counter-ion selection can change viscosity, adsorption strength, calcium tolerance, and performance under high ionic strength.
Note: Some performance statements (e.g., scale control/threshold inhibition) are grade dependent. Provide your target use case and we’ll confirm the right spec.
Applications
Typical usage patterns. Tell us your process and constraints and we’ll align the right specification.
- Detergents & industrial cleaners: anti-redeposition and particulate dispersion support
- Pigment & filler slurries: dispersion efficiency and viscosity control (system dependent)
- Ceramics / mineral processing: clay and mineral suspension stabilization
- Water-based process systems: fines control and deposit reduction (grade dependent)
Where it’s most valuable
High-solids systems where dispersion quality drives viscosity and stability, and cleaning systems where suspended soils must remain dispersed to avoid re-deposition on cleaned surfaces.
Technical notes for specification
Polyacrylate performance is driven by polymer architecture and your system conditions.
Neutralization & counter-ion
Degree of neutralization influences solubility and charge density. Sodium vs ammonium salts can affect pH behavior and formulation compatibility.
Ionic strength tolerance
High salinity or hard water can compress electrical double layers and reduce dispersion for some grades. Provide conductivity/hardness for correct matching.
