Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Crosspolymer is a white powder, a pre-neutralized hydrophobically modified sulfonic acid copolymer used as an emulsion stabilizer with the ability to stabilize high levels of oils. It provides rich and creamy formulations and enables crystal-clear, transparent hydrogels.

Stabilizing organic and inorganic pigments in shower gels and shampoos, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Crosspolymer leaves a soft, non-sticky, and silky skin feel. It exhibits good stability in low-pH formulations, high resilience towards UV light, and good compatibility with polar organic solvents.

Emulsions created with deficient Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Crosspolymer levels are highly stable. The mechanism is believed to be electrostatic stabilization, in which oil droplets are entrapped and held in place due to the very high yield value.

At equilibrium, adsorbed homopolymer molecules form an adsorbed layer comprised of loops and tails extending into the solution phase. Thus, when two oil droplets approach each other, a repulsive force is generated due to the presence of these adsorbed layers.
