Pemulen™ 1621 polymer

Pemulen™ 1621 polymer is a moderately crosslinked, hydrophobically-modified, acrylic acid copolymer powder. It is designed to form stable oil-in-water emulsions at low use levels. It is a cost-effective polymer for medium viscosity emulsions recommended for use in automotive care, polishes and protectants. It is also suitable for use in anti-icing fluids.
