Description

2-Propenoic Acid, Methyl Ester, Homopolymer, Hydrolyzed, Sodium Salt is a water-soluble anionic polymer derived from poly(methyl acrylate). This versatile material is valued for its excellent thickening, dispersing, and film-forming properties, making it a key functional additive in numerous industrial formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, textile, coatings, and water treatment industries for its ability to modify rheology and stabilize complex systems.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary thickener, stabilizer, and film-former in shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps, and creams.
• Textile Processing: Used as a sizing agent, thickener for pigment printing pastes, and finishing agent to improve fabric hand feel.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a rheology modifier and thickener in water-based architectural and industrial coatings to prevent sagging and improve application properties.
• Water Treatment: Serves as a dispersant and scale inhibitor in cooling water and boiler water systems.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Employed as a thickening and water-retention agent in water-based adhesive formulations.
• Detergents & Cleaners: Enhances viscosity and stabilizes formulations in liquid laundry detergents and hard surface cleaners.
• Paper Industry: Used as a retention aid and dry strength additive in paper manufacturing.
