Carbopol® Aqua 30 polymer

Carbopol® Aqua 30 polymer is a lightly crosslinked alkali-swellable acrylic emulsion polymer. It is supplied as a 30% active polymer in water. Carbopol Aqua 30 polymer has long flow characteristics with relatively low viscosity compared to other Carbopol polymers. It is designed to suspend, stabilize, and thicken products containing surfactants and detergents. It is recommended for use in car wash applications, hard surface cleaners, and high surfactant gel applications.
