Description
Description
Multifunctional anionic rheology modifier (polyacrylate polymer) that can be used to emulsify and stabilize high levels of oils and silicones. 50-55% active content. Gives oil-in-water emulsions.
Benefits
  • Excellent thickener as it thickens up to 65,000 cPs at only 2% concentration
  • Auto-emulsifies up to 30% oils or silicones
  • Creates viscous creams at low inclusion levels
  • Leaves a smooth, silky, silicone-like feel to the skin
  • Particularly suited for the stabilization of formulas containing silicones
Use
Typical use level 0.5-3%. Can be added at any stage during the manufacture of both hot or cold formulas. Thickening occurs within seconds and homogeneity of the formulation is reached within minutes forming a stable emulsion. For external use only.
Applications
Gel-creams, emulsion-gels, cold emulsions, lotions, creams, skin-whitening /self-tanning products, sun care & baby care products, mascara, foundations.

Raw Material Source
Acrylic acid, sodium hydroxide
Manufacture
The main ingredient, sodium polyacrylate, is produced by neutralizing acrylic acid with sodium hydroxide yielding a solution of sodium acrylate monomers which is subsequently polymerized to sodium polyacrylate. The polymer is then combined with 3 emollients/emulsifiers to create a proprietary blend.
