Ammonium Acryloyl Dimethyltaurate/Carboxyethyl Acrylate Crosspolymer is a pre-neutralized, cross-linked sulfonic acid polymer. It is an active powder that swells quickly in addition to surfactant systems.
Acting as a suspending agent, Ammonium Acryloyl Dimethyltaurate/Carboxyethyl Acrylate Crosspolymer stabilizes particles even at low concentrations. It forms water clear and stable gels maintaining its excellent yield force over a wide pH range (pH = 3-9).
Ammonium Acryloyl Dimethyltaurate/Carboxyethyl Acrylate Crosspolymer is compatible with various surfactants and biopolymers, significantly improving rheological properties and appearance and providing a stable viscosity even at low pH (skin pH).
Ammonium Acryloyl Dimethyltaurate/Carboxyethyl Acrylate Crosspolymer is typically used in 1 - 2.5% concentration but can reach up to 10-15 % in surfactant systems. It is used in shower gels, shampoos, facial cleansers, antidandruff shampoos, sport shower gels, or kid's formulations with optical effects or active capsules.Functions
