Description

Propylene/Acrylic Acid Copolymer is a synthetic polymer formed from the copolymerization of propylene and acrylic acid monomers. This versatile material is valued for its ability to modify rheological properties, act as a dispersant, and provide thickening or binding functions in aqueous systems. It is essential for formulators and manufacturers in industries such as paints and coatings, adhesives, textiles, and personal care, where controlled viscosity and stability are critical.

Application

• Paints & Coatings: Acts as a rheology modifier and thickener in water-based formulations to improve application properties and prevent sagging.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Used as a thickening and stabilizing agent to control viscosity and enhance the performance of aqueous adhesive systems.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a binder, thickener for prints, or finishing agent to improve fabric hand and durability.
• Personal Care Products: Functions as a stabilizer and viscosity control agent in lotions, creams, and hair care formulations.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Employed as a retention aid, drainage aid, or coating additive to improve paper strength and quality.
• Detergents & Cleaners: Enhances the suspension of particles and stabilizes formulations in liquid and gel cleaning products.
• Construction Materials: Used in cement-based products and tile adhesives as a water-retention agent and workability aid.
• Industrial Fluids: Acts as a dispersant or viscosity modifier in drilling muds, agricultural chemicals, and other specialty fluid formulations.

Quality Control

Our Propylene/Acrylic Acid Copolymer is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency in key parameters such as molecular weight distribution, acid value, solids content, and viscosity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available for every shipment upon request, providing full traceability and compliance assurance for your production 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); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product performance.
