Carbopol® 674 Polymer

Product Family: Carbopol® Polymers

Chemistry: Anionic

Carbopol® 674 polymer is a lightly crosslinked polyacrylic acid polymer. It has long flow characteristics and relatively low viscosity properties compared to other Carbopol polymers. It provide excellent suspension and stabilization in low and highly alkaline systems. It is recommended for use in all purpose cleaners, surface cleaners, multi-purpose cleaners, drain openers and fabric pretreatment systems.

Product Benefits

  • Imparts instant thickening upon neutralization to form high clarity gels.
  • Provides shear thinning rheology to enable easy pumping and dispensing of finished products via trigger sprayers.
  • Provides yield value to allow for the suspension of a wide variety of insoluble materials or particles. Yield value enables finished products to have vertical cling which is an important characteristic for products that are dispensed via a trigger spray or nozzle.
  • Stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions.
  • Offers stability in high electrolyte systems.
