Carbopol® ETD 2020 NF Polymer

Suitable Applications: Topical and Oral Care Products
Residual Solvent: Cosolvent mixture of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane

Carbopol^® ETD 2020 NF polymer is an "Easy-To-Disperse" interpolymer processed in a toxicologically preferred cosolvent system.  It delivers excellent thickening efficiency, suspending ability and sparkling clarity in gel systems.

Compared with traditional Carbopol^® polymers, Carbopol ETD 2020 NF polymer provides aqueous dispersions that are much lower in viscosity prior to neutralization. As a result, aqueous dispersions of Carbopol ETD 2020 NF polymer are less susceptible to agglomeration, easier to prepare at higher polymer solids and easier to pump and handle.  Suggested applications include oral care products, clear gels, hydroalcoholic gels, and high electrolyte systems.

Carbopol^® ETD 2020 NF and Ultrez 10 NF polymers are recommended for hand sanitizer gels.
