NM-PA

INCI Name: Polyacrylate crosspolymer-6

NM-PA 6 is the anionic associative pre-neutralized acrylic Crosspolymer, featuring outstanding thickening, suspending, emulsifying and film-forming properties.

It delivers robust electrolyte resistance via a dual thickening mechanism combining electrostatic repulsion and hydrophobic association, with a maximum tolerance to 10% sodium chloride electrolyte. And providing clear gels at w wide pH range.

It is especially suitable for all types of cosmetic formulation, skincare products, facial and body cleansers, and color cosmetics including mascara, eyeshadow and other makeup items.
