Aculyn™ 28

Dow Chemical - Home and Personal Care

Aculyn™ 28 rheology modifier is an anionic associative rheology modifier developed specifically for hair and skin care applications. This thickener is a hydrophobically modified alkali soluble polymer emulsion (HASE) with unusually high aqueous thickening and stabilizing efficiency. The polymer is a liquid, cold-processable product that instantaneously thickens upon neutralization, providing ease of handling and increased manufacturing efficiency. Aculyn™ 28 is designed for clear formulations, stable from pH 5.5 to 10 and compatible with nonionic, anionic, Zwitterionic and some cationic ingredients, as well as peroxide and electrolytes. The lower pH neutralization makes it ideal for skin care applications.
