Introduction:
Viscogel is ‘Acrylates Copolymer’ and the product is against ‘Emul 34U’ & ‘Carbopol Aqua SF’. Viscogel is an excellent rheology modifier, alkali-swellable anionic acrylic polymer emulsion, lightly crosslinked. It’s easy to handle due to water-soluble and low-viscosity.
Properties:
- Easy to use and efficient Viscosity modifier & Thickening Agent
- Excellent for Suspending Beads, Abrasives, Silicone emulsions
- Provides clear gel without Fluorescence
- Provides stabilizing & co-emulsifying functions
Formula Guidelines:
The minimum recommended use level of Viscogel polymer in surfactant-based products is 5.0% as supplied. The polymer use level depends on the amount of surfactant and assumes use of salt for additional thickening. For clear formulations containing no salt and low surfactant actives, typical polymer use levels are 8-10% as supplied. In most situations, Viscogel polymer can be added to the free water of a formulation with gentle mixing at the start of the batching process. At this point, the pH will be about 3, resulting in very low viscosity. Upon addition of a base, the polymer will be neutralized, resulting in immediate increase in suspending properties and
viscosity.
