Description

Acrylic Acid, Ammonium Salt Polymer is a synthetic, water-soluble polyelectrolyte widely used as a thickening, suspending, and dispersing agent. Its primary value lies in its ability to modify rheology and stabilize formulations across a diverse range of industrial and consumer applications. This polymer is essential for manufacturers in sectors such as water treatment, personal care, textiles, and coatings who require reliable performance and consistent quality in their processes.

Application

• Water Treatment: Acts as a scale inhibitor and dispersant in cooling water, boiler water, and reverse osmosis systems.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a primary thickener, stabilizer, and film-forming agent in shampoos, creams, lotions, and hair styling gels.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Serves as a sizing agent, thickener for printing pastes, and auxiliary in dyeing and finishing operations.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a rheology modifier, thickener, and pigment dispersant in water-based architectural and industrial coatings.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Provides viscosity control and enhances the stability of water-based adhesive formulations.
• Detergents & Cleaners: Utilized as a soil anti-redeposition agent and viscosity builder in liquid laundry and dishwashing detergents.
• Paper Manufacturing: Employed as a retention aid, drainage aid, and coating thickener to improve paper quality and production efficiency.
• Agriculture: Used in pesticide and fertilizer formulations as a suspending agent and for drift control.

Quality Control

Our Acrylic Acid, Ammonium Salt Polymer is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for critical parameters including viscosity, solids content, pH, and residual monomers to ensure it meets consistent performance specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) 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 (typically 15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
