Acrylates Copolymer

SF-1 Acrylates Copolymer is an anionic alkali-swelling acrylic (ester) copolymer emulsion commonly used as a rheological additive. It serves as a suspending, thickening, and emulsification aid in personal care products. It is a water-soluble white emulsion with low viscosity for ease of use.

SF-1 has excellent salt tolerance in formulations and is compatible with anionic and nonionic surfactants. It can suspend insoluble and difficult-to-suspend components or particles and has excellent shear resistance, divalent ion resistance, and oxidant resistance. It can help to provide an eye-catching appearance for various personal care products. It features excellent transparency in transparent formulations and enhances the bright pearlescent effect in pearlescent products.

Features & Benefits:

• Excellent compatibility with most surfactants, resulting in great formulating flexibility.
• A convenient and easy-to-use rheology modifier, providing a smooth, flowing fluid state to the formulation.
• Can suspend insoluble particles such as antidandruff agent ZPT, silicone oil and other substances in the surfactant formulation.
• Can provide excellent stabilization, thickening and emulsification aid performance.
• Can provide excellent transparency to the formulation.
• Can provide brilliant pearlescent color for pearlescent formulas.
• Compatible with a wide pH range.

Stability/Shelf life:

Stable at an extensive pH range and suitable for use in acidic and alkaline environments.

Pack in tight-closed containers(drums or tanks); Store in a dry, ventilated and cool place; Kept away from direct sun and water.

Under proper storage conditions, the shelf life of SF-1 is 12 months.

*The temperature during storage and transportation must be controlled at 5~35℃; Freezing must be strictly avoided. Freezing will cause the product to break demulsification and cannot be used continuously.

Recommended dosage:

The recommended dosage of SF-1 in detergents and personal care products is 1.0%-8.0%.
