Description: Ready-to-use anionic polymer in powder form for creating clear aqueous gels without the need for pH neutralization. Appearance: White powder. pH as supplied: 4 - 5.5 (when prepared as 1.5% aqueous gel). Dispersible in cold and hot water.CAS: 111286-86-3INCI Name: Polyacrylate crosspolymer-6Benefits: - Produces clear aqueous gels providing an elegant and soft, silicone-like skin feel - Can be used also to thicken and/or stabilize emulsions (creams & lotions) in combination with other thickeners including gums, pectins, or cellulose derivatives - Acts wells as oil thickener (even at low concentrations) as it works synergistically with fatty alcohols (e.g. cetyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol etc) - Increases thickness and foam density when used with anionic or non-ionic surfactant - Has extreme resistance to electrolytes up to 10% salts - Compatible with ethanol and other solvents, surfactantsUse: GelMaker PH can be used in cold or hot solutions. For making clear gels, sprinkle the powder over the aqueous phase and mix at low speed (500-1500rpm) while adding additional ingredients (e.g. minerals) for about 5-10 minutes to allow it to hydrate. For making cream gels, sprinkle the powder over the hot or cold oil phase. Typical use level is 0.5 - 5%. Gels are stable between pH 2 and 8. For external use only.Applications: Clear gels, creams, lotions, transparent hair gels, sun care productsCountry of Origin: FranceRaw material source: Acrylic acidManufacture: Polyacrylates are prepared synthetically using acrylic acid derivates in aqueous solution under specially controlled reaction conditions.Animal Testing: Not animal testedGMO: GMO free (does not contain plant-derived components)Vegan: Does not contain animal-derived components
