Description

Acrylic Acid-Allyl Pentaerythritol Copolymer is a high-performance, cross-linked polymer synthesized from acrylic acid and allyl pentaerythritol. This copolymer is valued for its excellent thickening, suspending, and film-forming properties, making it a versatile additive in advanced material formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, coatings, adhesives, and water treatment industries seeking to enhance product viscosity, stability, and performance.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary thickener, stabilizer, and film-forming agent in hair gels, styling mousses, creams, lotions, and sunscreens.
• Coatings & Paints: Used as a rheology modifier and thickener in water-based architectural and industrial coatings to control sag resistance and application properties.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Functions as a thickening and suspending agent to improve the consistency and application performance of various adhesive formulations.
• Water Treatment: Employed as a scale inhibitor and dispersant in cooling water and boiler water systems.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a thickener for printing pastes and dye formulations to achieve precise print definition and color yield.
• Paper Manufacturing: Utilized as a retention aid and dry strength additive to improve paper quality and production efficiency.

Quality Control

Our Acrylic Acid-Allyl Pentaerythritol Copolymer is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency in viscosity, pH, residual monomers, and other critical parameters. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications 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); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product performance.
