Description

2-Propenoic Acid, Polymer With Ethene, Potassium Salt is a water-soluble polymer salt, a copolymer of acrylic acid and ethylene. This compound is valued for its excellent thickening, dispersing, and water-retention properties, making it a versatile functional additive. It is primarily utilized in industries such as water treatment, textiles, personal care, and agriculture, where its ability to modify rheology and stabilize formulations is critical.

Application

• Water Treatment: Acts as a scale inhibitor and dispersant in cooling water, boiler water, and reverse osmosis systems.
• Textile Industry: Used as a thickener and binder in pigment printing and as a finishing agent to improve fabric hand feel.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a rheology modifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Agriculture: Employed as a soil conditioner and water-retention agent to improve irrigation efficiency.
• Paints & Coatings: Serves as a thickener and rheology control agent in latex paints and industrial coatings.
• Detergents & Cleaners: Enhances the viscosity and suspension properties of liquid soaps and cleaning formulations.
• Paper Manufacturing: Used as a retention aid and drainage aid in the papermaking process.
• Construction: Functions as a water-reducing agent and workability enhancer in cement and mortar formulations.

Quality Control

Our 2-Propenoic Acid, Polymer With Ethene, Potassium Salt is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for key parameters including polymer composition, viscosity, pH, and residual monomers to ensure consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
