Description
Description
This polymer is a hydrophobic high molecular weight carboxylated acrylic copolymer. Because acrylate copolymer is anionic, compatibility must be evaluated when formulating with cationic ingredients.
Benefits
  • Excellent film forming polymer that adds water-resistance to creams, sunscreen and mascara
  • Provides water-proof protection and thickening properties depending on the formula
  • Due to inherent moisture resistance it can be used in waterproof sunscreens and a variety of protective creams and lotions
Use
Can be mixed into the hot oil phase of formulation, mixes also with glycerin, propylene glycol, alcohol or hot water that has been neutralized (eg. water, TEA 0.5%, 2% acrylates copolymer). Needs to be sprinkled into the solution and well mixed. Prior to adding acrylate copolymer, all oil phase ingredients should also be combined and heated to 80°C/176°F. Acrylate copolymer should then be slowly sifted in using good agitation and mixed for one half hour. Use levels: 2-7%. For external use only.
Applications
Color cosmetics, sun & skin protection, hair care products, shaving creams, moisturizers.
