Description

2-Propenoic Acid, Polymer With Ammonium 2-Propenoate is a high-performance, water-soluble copolymer of acrylic acid and ammonium acrylate. This versatile polymer is engineered to deliver superior performance as a thickening, suspending, and stabilizing agent in aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the personal care, water treatment, and coatings industries, where consistent quality and reliable rheological control are paramount.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Primary thickener and stabilizer in shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps, and creams, providing excellent clarity and a smooth, luxurious feel.
• Water Treatment: Used as a scale inhibitor and dispersant in cooling water, boiler water, and reverse osmosis systems to control mineral deposits.
• Paints & Coatings: Acts as a rheology modifier and thickener in water-based paints, improving application properties, sag resistance, and pigment suspension.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Enhances viscosity and stability in water-based adhesive formulations, improving open time and application characteristics.
• Textile Processing: Utilized as a thickener in pigment printing pastes and as a processing aid to improve fabric hand feel and dye leveling.
• Detergents & Cleaners: Contributes to viscosity building and stabilization in liquid laundry detergents and hard surface cleaners.

Quality Control

Our production of 2-Propenoic Acid, Polymer With Ammonium 2-Propenoate adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch is tested against key parameters including viscosity, solids content, pH, and residual monomers to ensure performance consistency and safety for its intended applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are provided with every shipment.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed immediately after use to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
