Carbopol® ETD 2020 polymer

Cleansing Hair-Care Skin-Care
China Compliant -Formerly CFDA Halal

Easy-to-disperse rheology modifier for exceptional clarity in gel formulations

Carbopol® ETD 2020 polymer is an easy-to-disperse, white powder, cross-linked polyacrylic acid copolymer polymerized in a toxicologically-preferred cosolvent system specifically designed for thickening surfactant systems. It delivers excellent thickening efficiency and suspending capability, long viscous flow, and sparkling clarity in gel systems. Suggested applications include clear gels, hydro-alcoholic gels, surfactant systems (specialty shampoos, cleaning products, etc.), and high electrolyte systems such as aloe gels.
