Aristo Copolymer

Opis

A gelling agent for aqueous preparations, texturizer and thickener for oil-in-water emulsions. Forms brilliant and glossy emulsions, with excellent spreadability and fast absorption.

Ingredients: Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

BENEFITS

• it is pre-neutralized, easy to use
• provides formulations with superior stability
• has a good compatibility with organic solvents
• good skin feel, low degree of stickiness and tackiness
• superior skin compatibility

USE RECOMMENDATIONS

• especially suitable for light, elegant formulations
• suitable for O/W emulsions, aqueous gels
• emulsifier-free cream-gels can be formulated
• hydro-alcoholic, transparent gels can be made comprising more than 50% ethanol

FORMULATING TIPS

• 1% in water gives viscosity of 48000 - 65000 mPas
• can be used to prepare emulsions in both hot and cold process
• typically added to the oil phase, a slight agitation facilitates dispersion
• aqueous gels are prepared by adding the water phase to the polimer; special care should be taken for good agitation
• the transparency of the resulting aqueous gels is depending on the amount of polimer used; 1% and higher provide transparent, clear gels; slightly turbid gels can be transformed into clear formulations by addition of approx. 5% glycerin
• to prepare hydro-alcoholic gels, the best option is to first prepare the aqueous gel, and subsequently add to the gel a solution of the actives dissolved in ethanol
• is sensitive to electrolytes, not suitable to thicken shampoos or shower gels comprising larger amounts of salt
• typically dosage: 0.5 – 1.2 %
• can be used in a broad pH range of 4.0 – 9.0
