ACULYN™ F1 Polymer
ACULYN™ F1 Polymer, a proprietary innovation from The Dow Chemical Company, represents a significant advancement in the field of rheology modifiers.
This hydrophobically modified alkali swellable emulsion (HASE) is engineered to offer exceptional suspending capabilities across a broad pH spectrum, including the more challenging lower pH values. Its ability to maintain transparency in formulations sets it apart as a versatile and efficient solution for a variety of personal care products.
The ACULYN™ F1 Polymer is specifically designed to be compatible with a wide range of surfactants, including mild and sulfate-free systems, making it an ideal choice for formulations aimed at bath, shower, hygiene, hair care, and face care applications. Its effectiveness as a low pH rheology modifier and texture enhancer is complemented by its role as a clear system provider, suspension aid, and thickener. With an active content of 30-32%, and an anionic ionic nature, this opaque, white, low viscosity liquid demonstrates a remarkable balance of properties conducive to innovative product development.
