Carbopol® ETD 2691 Polymer

Carbopol^® ETD 2691 polymer is a patented, easy to disperse lightly crosslinked polyacrylic acid polymer that is synthesized in a cosolvent ethyl acetate/cyclohexane mixture. It provides greater versatility in formulating because it is a fast wetting polymer. Carbopol ETD 2691 polymer has long flow characteristics with relatively low viscosity compared to other Carbopol polymers.

Product Benefits

• Facilitates formulating and processing due to its ease of dispersion.
• Provides excellent thickening efficiency to form high clarity gels.
• Provides shear thinning rheology to enable easy pumping and dispensing of finished products via trigger sprayers.
• Provides yield value to allow for the suspension of a wide variety of insoluble materials or particles. Yield value enables finished products to have vertical cling which is an important characteristic for products that are dispensed via a trigger spray or nozzle.
• Stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions.

Suggested Applications

• Auto care products
• Hard surface cleaners
• Liquid laundry detergents
• Polishes
