AQUAPOL SF-22

Description

Thickening and gelling agent

The AQUAPOL line of “Acrylates polymers” is a synthetic high molecular weight cross-linked water-soluble polymer of acrylic acid. The cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and home industries all use it extensively. It comes as a liquid or powder and is soluble in water, alcohol, and glycols. The pH of an AQUAPOL grade solution ranges from 2.5 to 3.0 before neutralization.

AQUAPOL® SF-22

AQUAPOL®SF-22 is an anionic hydrophobically modified alkali-soluble acrylic polymer emulsion (HASE) thickener. AQUAPOL® SF-22 is an efficient thickener for difficult to thicken surfactant systems. It is a cold processable low viscosity liquid which provides ease of handling and reduces the total manufacturing time. It contains 30% active polymer which thickens instantly upon neutralization.
