ACULYN™ 98 Rheology Modifier is a very efficient, anionic HASE (hydrophobically modified alkali swellable emulsion) thickener or rheology modifier.Benefits:It is highly efficient to build apparent viscosity for amino acid surfactant systemsExhibits excellent suspension ability and clarity above pH 6Shows broad surfactant compatibilityIt is suitable for sulfate-free formulationsProvides instant thickening upon neutralizationIt is effective in cold processing and has pseudoplastic behaviorIrradiation- and BSE/TSE-freeIt is suitable for difficult-to-thicken surfactant systems such as amino acid surfactants or other sulfate-free shampoosTypical Applications:Ideal for bath, shower, hygiene, hair-, skin-, body- and facial care applications. It is also used in shampoos, body washes, shower gels, skin cleansers, face cleansers and hair gels.

ACULYN™ 28 Rheology Modifier

ACULYN™ 28 Rheology Modifier is an anionic associative rheology modifier developed specifically for hair and skin care applications. Acts as foam and particulate stabilizer.Benefits:It is a hydrophobically modified alkali soluble polymer emulsion (HASE) with unusually high aqueous thickening and stabilizing efficiencyInstantaneously thickens upon neutralization which provides ease of handling and increased manufacturing efficiencyCompatible with nonionic, anionic, zwitterionic and some cationic ingredients, as well as peroxide and electrolytesIt is cold processable and has lower pH neutralizationIt is a highly associative, very pseudoplastic and  hixotropic liquid which yields clear gelsIt has broad pH stability, high surfactant synergy, higher efficiency/concentration ration and high yield valuePromotes synergistic rheology with inorganic claysIt is easy to handle, non- hygroscopic and salt & shear tolerantIt is also compatible with peroxide, formulations and polar solventsIt has ability to stabilize suspensions and doesn't require any preparationIt is mild, soft, non-greasy, non-sticky and offers manufacturing efficiencySupports continuous production using in-line static mixersStable in pH 5.5 to 12 formulationsCan be processed using membrane pumps and, upon dilution, with turbine mixers or high-speed propeller mixerDoes not promote or support contaminationIt can be used with electrolytesPossess synergystic interaction with surfactants, particulates and hydrophobic raw materialsProvides stabilization of hydrophobic (low solubility) componentsGMO-, BSE/TSE-, preservative- and irradiation-freeComplies with cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009Typical Applications:It is suitable for alcohol and glycol containing formulations. Recommended for body washes and shower gel, crystal clear hair and akin gels, emulsifier-free formulation, hand & body lotions and liquid hand soaps.
