ACULYN™ 38 Polymer is an alkali-swellable anionic acrylic polymer emulsion (ASE) that is
lightly crosslinked to impart a short pseudoplastic flow. It is a liquid, cold-processable
product that instantaneously thickens upon neutralization providing ease of handling and
increased manufacturing efficiency. This thickener is offered at 28% solids and has been
developed for use as a rheology modifier and suspending agent for personal care surfactant
formulations. It is effective in a range of personal care surfactants and is useful at pH 3–11,
depending on formulation. It is stable in the presence of sodium chloride and two common
conditioning agents, Polyquaternium-7 and Polyquaternium-10 as well as, polar solvents
and zinc pyrithione. The polymer has a well-established toxicological profile and is safe in
normal use.
An excellent suspending agent/rheology modifier for smooth-pouring Personal Care formulations such as, conditioning shampoos with silicones, anti-dandruff shampoos with zinc pyrithione, exfoliating body washes, and sunscreens
