Pemulen™ 1621 polymer

Pemulen™ 1621 polymer is a moderately crosslinked, hydrophobically-modified, polyacrylic acid polymer powder polymerized in a toxicologically-preferred cosolvent system. It was designed to form stable oil-in-water emulsions at low use levels. It is a cost-effective polymer for medium viscosity emulsions recommended for use in automotive care, polishes, and protectants.

Features and Benefits

• Allows for cold or hot processing enabling flexible processing requirements
• Enables formulation of water-resistant oil-in-water emulsions
• No HLB calculation required when formulating
• Offers high efficiency at low usage levels, thereby enabling cost-effective formulations to be developed
• PEG free
• Provides exceptional emulsion stability
• Provides shear-thinning rheology to enable easy pumping and dispensing of finished products
• Simplifies emulsification of silicones and water
