ACULYN™ 33 Rheology Modifier
ACULYN™ 33 Rheology Modifier is a cost-effective thickener and particulate suspending agent. Acts as a stabilizer for emulsifier-free emulsions.Benefits:It is an alkali-swellable anionic acrylic polymer emulsion (ASE)Lightly crosslinked to impart a short pseudoplastic flowParticularly suited for formulations containing polar solvents and to stabilize suspensionsExhibits unique ease of use, wide compatibility, cost effectiveness and favorable balance of rheological propertiesIt is a cold-processable liquid that instantaneously thickens upon neutralization providing ease of handling and increased manufacturing efficiencyCompatible with peroxide and other oxidizing agents, electrolytes, polar solvents and zinc pyrithioneIt has a well-established toxicological profile and is safe in normal useIt is a non-hygroscopic, particulate suspension and is stable in highly alkaline systemsExhibits short flow, divalent ion tolerance, excellent viscosity stability, flat pH/viscosity response and excellent high shear stability with lack of odorOffers little viscosity drift and no preparation is neededAllows for use of continuous production processes with use of in-line static mixersPermits stable formulations with particulatesIt has ability to stabilize suspensions and is less sensitive to water hardnessDoes not promote or support contaminationIt is mild, soft, non-greasy and non-stickyProvides no watery feel upon skin contact and flexibility in choice of preservative systemProvides improved pickup properties and allows formulation of spreadable lotion products that flow readily from the containerSupported by comprehensive environmental, health and safety dataIt is also suitable for stable and viscous formulationTypical Applications:Recommended for astringents, cleansers, depilatories, lotions (body, cleansing, hand), makeup creams & lotions, opaque and pearlescent shampoos, peroxide-containing formulations (hair dyes, hand disinfectants, permanent wave neutralizers and solvent gel.
