Product name : Salcare SC 80
Chemical name(INCI) : Polyoxyethylene stearyl-based (10) Allyl ether/Acrylate copolymer
Category : Rheological thickening conditioning, suspended
Characteristics and Application :
SALCARE SC 80 is a highly cross linked acrylic copolymer and an associative thickener due to the presence of long chain hydrophobic groups. Thickening is achieved by chain entanglement and micelle formation when neutralized with an inorganic or organic alkaline base.
Main applications :
·Associative thickener
·Provides clear gels and hydrogels
·Pseudo-plastic flow properties
·For use in liquid soaps, shampoos, hair gels and other clear gels
It is ideal for formulating clear gel products and can be used on its own or in combination to provide associative thickening with suspension characteristics. It is supplied as aqueous emulsions with a pH of around 3.5. In the acid form, the products do not significantly swell because of the limited solubilizing power of the acid groups. On neutralization, electrical repulsion between the anionic groups within the molecule causes the polymer chains to uncoil, leading to instantaneous thickening.
Without Premixing and heating , after the simple base neutralization ,so can be can be made of transparent gel Products;Can be used with containing the anionic and non-anion of the formula ingredients;In the low dosage can efficiently thickening; Used in conjunction with the SC81,can be made any arbitrary viscosity of transparent gel products.Especially suitable for spray and hose products .
