125g Carbomer 940 980| Carbopol Alternative - Rheology Modifier -Gelling Agent

Description

Perfect for the home DIY lotion, shampoo, hand sanitizer, conditioners, facial care products to create the unique thickening properties found with common lotion products. Aristoflex® AVC is a pre-neutralized synthetic polymer used as a gelling agent for aqueous systems and as a texturizer and thickener for oil-in-water emulsions. Because it is fast breaking on the skin, it has a unique light, fresh sensory appeal.
This is an alternative to Carbopol, carbomer and HEC purified hydroxyethyl cellulose.

Formulation Guidelines
Aristoflex® AVC is sensitive to electrolytes and is not suitable for use in certain surfactant systems (such as cleansing products) which may contain high levels of salts.
Hydrolyzed proteins typically contain salts and their use with Aristoflex® AVC may result in loss of viscosity.
Use in products intended to have a pH lower than pH 4.0 may lead to acidic cleavage of the polymer on prolonged storage resulting in viscosity loss.
As Aristoflex® AVC is an ammonium salt, pH higher than 9.0 will release ammonia
