Description

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer is a synthetic, film-forming polymer widely used as a rheology modifier and stabilizer. This copolymer is valued for its ability to create clear, flexible, and water-resistant films while providing excellent thickening and suspending properties. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to enhance product texture, stability, and sensory appeal.

Application

• Hair Styling Products: Provides strong, flexible hold and high humidity resistance in gels, mousses, and sprays.
• Skin Care & Sun Care: Acts as a primary film-former and stabilizer in day creams, sunscreens, and BB creams, improving water resistance and spreadability.
• Color Cosmetics: Used in mascara, eyeliners, and foundations to enhance wear time, waterproof properties, and pigment dispersion.
• Peel-Off Masks: Forms a continuous, easy-to-remove film that delivers active ingredients and provides a unique user experience.
• Topical Pharmaceutical Films: Serves as a film-forming agent in transdermal patches and protective barrier films.
• Household & Industrial Coatings: Employed in formulations requiring clear, protective, and adhesive films.

Quality Control

Our Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for critical parameters including polymer identity, viscosity, solids content, and residual monomers to ensure consistency and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
