Description

Ultrez 10 is a high-performance, cross-linked acrylic acid polymer, widely recognized for its superior rheological and stabilizing properties. This versatile compound is essential for formulating products that require exceptional thickening, suspension, and water retention capabilities. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors seeking to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Primary thickener and stabilizer in creams, lotions, gels, and sunscreens, providing excellent texture and long-term stability.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as a suspending agent, viscosity modifier, and controlled-release matrix in topical gels, ointments, and transdermal patches.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Acts as a rheology modifier in liquid soaps, detergents, and surface cleaners to control viscosity and prevent settling of particulates.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a thickener and anti-sagging agent in water-based formulations to improve application properties and film integrity.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Enhances the viscosity and application characteristics of water-based adhesive systems.
