Details
NCI Name: Acrylates/ Steareth-20 Methacrylate Crosspolymer

NM-Carbomer Aqua 25  is an anionic hydrophobically modified alkali-soluble

acrylic polymer emulsion (HASE) with unusually high aqueous thickening and stabilizing

efficiency. This thickener is a liquid, cold-processable product that instantaneously thickens upon neutralization providing ease of handling and increased manufacturing efficiency. NM-Carbomer Aqua 25  specifically imparts efficient thickening properties for amino acid surfactant systems and low pH systems, and has excellent clarity gels , which can be extensively applied for formulations containing high levels of surfactant. 

Features and Benefits:

l Amine acid surfactand system 

l Thickening and Flow Control

l Highly associative

l Very pseudoplastic

l Stabilization of hydrophobic (low solubility) components

l Synergistic interaction with surfactants, particulates and hydrophobic raw materials

l Thickens and stabilizes hydrogen peroxide

l High-transparent Formulations

l pH Flexibility

l Surfactant Compatibility

l Synergistic Thickening with Salt and Surfactants

Recommended Applications:
