Carbopol® 691 polymer
Carbopol® 691 polymer is a lightly crosslinked polyacrylic acid polymer powder polymerized in a toxicologically-preferred cosolvent system. This polymer provides suspension at low product viscosity and improves freeze-thaw and high temperature stability. This polymer performs well in challenging formulation environments at low and high pH. It is recommended for use in all purpose cleaners, surface cleaners, multi-purpose cleaners, drain openers, and fabric pretreatment systems.
Features and Benefits
- Excellent freeze-thaw and high temperature stability at low concentrations in oil-in-water emulsions
- Excellent stability in oxidizing systems such as those containing chlorine bleach or peroxides
- Imparts instant thickening upon neutralization to form high clarity gels
- Offers stability in high electrolyte systems
- 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 important for products that are dispensed via a trigger spray or nozzle
