Description

Carbopol^® Ultrez 20 polymer is a white powder, hydrophobically-modified cross-linked acrylate copolymer. It is easy to use as it self-wets and disperses within minutes. This rheology modifier and stabilizer provide electrolyte tolerance and unique sensory benefits in formulations. It can be used in systems with moderate surfactant content, making it an ideal choice for shampoos, body washes, gels, lotions, and creams.

• Demonstrates great stability with surfactant active levels of 10 %
• Effective across a broad pH range, allowing formulation flexibility
• Excellent electrolyte tolerance makes it well suited for formulations containing higher levels of botanical ingredients or humectants such as Sodium PCA
• Provides a rich creamy skin feel during the rubout phase after applying oil-in-water-based creams and lotions
• Provides exceptional clarity in various systems including hydro-alcoholic gel formulations
• Rapid wetting and improved swelling time without the need for agitation, reducing processing time and costs
• Suspends and stabilizes beads, microcapsules, and exfoliants while maintaining product stability
