  • Softening/Texturizing
  • Rich Velvety feeling
  • Thickener/Viscosity Modifier
  • Stabilizer
  • Sprayable fluid to thick textures
  • Cold or hot process
  • Non-oily, non-sticky
  • Can be coupled with a natural gum like guar, xanthan gum, etc
  • High electrolyte tolerance
  • Low use rate
  • Suspending agent
  • No neutralization needed
  • Zero clumping
  • Soft and creamy foam in cleansing systems
  • Compatible with natural oils, esters and synthetic lipids
  • Compatible with ethanol, solvents, surfactants, AHA’s, Zinc gluconate, Sun filters, Salicylic acid and Salicylic acid plus, sunscreens, pigments, etc.,
  • Gives a good hold in transparent hair gels

INCI: Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

Solubility: Water.

Use rate: 0.5 – 5.0% (Suspension begins at 0.15%)

pH (2% in solution): 3.0 – 6

pH Stability: 2.0 – 8.0

Shear Sensitivity: Tolerates high shear

Charge: Anionic

Appearance: White powder

Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place

Shelf life: 3 years

INCORPORATION ADVICE:

Sprinkle the polymer directly over the aqueous phase initially at a low speed (approximately 500 rpm), then at a higher speed (approximately 1,500 rpm), and finally, add the electrolytes into the water phase.

For cream gels, add to the oil phase (hot or cold). The polymer may also be left to hydrate for a few hours without stirring, then it can be mixed rapidly to obtain an aqueous gel)

Can support 4% AHA acids. Can support 3% Sodium PCA

Hydration time is around 10 minutes – equipment and batch size dependent
