Pemulen™ 1622 polymer

Pemulen™ 1622 polymer is a lightly 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 sprayable automotive products, sprayable polishes, and sprayable 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 in low viscosity sprayable formulations
  • Provides shear-thinning rheology to enable easy pumping and dispensing of finished products
  • Simplifies emulsification of silicones and water

Applications

  • Home Care Other: De-Icing
  • Surface Care: Cleansers, Floor Cleaners and Waxes, Polishes

Functions

  • Rheology Modification
  • Suspension
