Easy-to-disperse rheology modifier for high clarity and long flow properties in gel systems

Carbopol® ETD 2050 polymer is an easy-to-disperse, white powder, cross-linked polyacrylic acid homopolymer polymerized in a toxicologically-preferred cosolvent system. It delivers excellent thickening efficiency, suspending capability, and long flow rheology at low concentrations. At higher concentrations, excellent suspension stability can be achieved at relatively low viscosities. Suggested applications include clear gels, hydroalcoholic gels, and lotions.
