POLACRIL RANGE

In these singular times, we are pleased to offer you a wide range of rheology modifiers suitable for the production of gel, hydroalcoholic formulations and also as emulsifiers, suspenders and stabilisers in order to better support the formulator in the different applications.
As such, our range is now composed of 4 products with different characteristics for use:

  • Polacril 40
  • Polacril 80
  • Polacril U10
  • Polacril U21


POLACRIL 40 
INCI: Carbomer

Traditional product with excellent gelling power. It guarantees excellent performance and is able to gel products containing up to 80% alcohol. In order to achieve the maximum yield we recommend dispersing with low speed mechanical agitation. The suggested time for dispersion is a whole night and in any case no less than 4 hours.


POLACRIL 80
INCI: Carbomer

This product has excellent applications as both a thickener and suspending agent. It gives particular transparency to the finished product and is therefore recommended in gels for hair and in hydroalcoholic gels. It is easily dispersed and can be neutralized with both caustic soda and triethanolamine. The time required for dispersion is about 30/40 minutes with medium mechanical agitation.  


POLACRIL U10
INCI: Carbomer.

Polacril U10 has excellent wettability which vastly reduces work times; in fact the time for dispersion is about ten minutes. It has excellent compatibility with every type of hydroalcoholic gel. It is a very efficient rheological modifier that can form very transparent gels. Compared to the Polacril 40 and 80 products it can be used in a wider range of applications: gel, styling products, after shave, creams and lotions. 


POLACRIL U21
INCI: Acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate Crosspolymer

Polacril U21 is a composite that allows high-viscosity and extremely transparent products to be obtained. Its application is appreciated for its exceptional dispersibility and wettability. The dispersion is completed in a few minutes and gives greater stability even for formulations with a medium high content of electrolytes. The finished product has an excellent sensory profile. Polacril 21 is an excellent ingredient in the formulation of lotions, creams and liquid soaps, even delicate ones.
