ACULYN™ 44 Polymer is a Hydrophobically-modified Ethoxylated URethane (HEUR) and is
synthesized from decyl alcohol, a diisocyanate and a polyethylene glycol as shown above.
Mechanism of Action ACULYN™ HEUR rheology modifiers thicken via an associative mechanism. The
hydrophobic parts of HEUR polymers build up associations with other hydrophobes present
in the formulation. However, because the ACULYN™ 44 Polymer is nonionic in nature, no
neutralization is needed and the polymer will function equivalently in a pH range from 2
through 12.
ACULYN™ 44 Polymer is a nonionic thickener based upon Hydrophobically-modified Ethoxylated URethane (HEUR) chemistry designed for personal care applications. As with
most other ACULYN™ rheology modifiers, the polymer is a liquid product for easier handling and manufacturing efficiency.
ACULYN™ 44 Polymer is offered at 35% solids, is
stable from pH 2 to 12 and compatible with peroxide and other oxidizing agents. The polymer has a well-established toxicological profile.
