ACULYN™ 22 Polymer

ACULYN™ 22 Polymer is a thickener and rheology modifier.

Benefits:

• It is an anionic, highly associative, pseudoplastic, hydrophobically modified alkali-soluble acrylic polymer emulsion (HASE)
• It is cold-processable, salt- & shear tolerant and non-hygroscopic
• It is mild, soft, non-greasy and non-sticky in nature
• It instantaneously thickens upon neutralization providing ease of handling and increased manufacturing efficiency
• Compatible with surfactants, solvents, oils and salts commonly found in cosmetic and toiletry products

• It yields clear gels and shows broad pH range stability (5.5-12)
• It is used as a particulate-, emulsion- and foam stabilizer, and also allows stabilization of hydrophobic (low solubility) components
• It is compatible with peroxide, nonionic, anionic, zwitterionic and some cationic surfactants
• It is cost-effective and exhibits high surfactant synergy
• Shows synergistic interaction with inorganic clays

• It is easy to handle and exhibits high yield value
• No preparation necessary
• Allows for use of continuous production processes with use of in-line static mixers

• It can be processed with membrane pumps when diluted, with turbine mixers and high-speed propellers

• It can be used with electrolytes
• Shows synergistic interaction with surfactants, particulates and hydrophobic raw material

• Offers stabilization of hydrophobic (low solubility) components

• It has ability to stabilize suspension
• Does not promote or support contamination
• Complies with cosmetic regulation (EC) No 1223/2009
• Preservative- and irradiation-free

• Supported by comprehensive environmental, health and safety data

Typical Applications:

Recommended for anti-dandruff shampoos, bath foams, curl activators, depilatories, emulsifier free formulations, foaming facial cleansers, hair styling gels and liquid soaps. It is also suitable for lotions, moisturizing creams, shampoos, shower gels, skin masks, waterless hand cleaners and wet sets.
