Carboxyvinyl Polymer Polygel DR is effective in a wide variety of Household, Industrial and Institutional detergents such as:• Emulsifying agent• Thickening agent;• Suspending agent;• Stabilising agent. Polygel DR can be used in the following detergents:• Heavy & Light Duty Liquid detergents;• Liquid Additives and Prespotters;under moderate stirring. Do not try to disperse the polymer in solutions that are already alkaline. The optimal pH is neutral or lightly acid. Failure to exercise the above dispersion procedures could cause lumping with particles hydrated only on the surface. Lumps are difficult to be solubilised and prolong the total dispersion time. High shear rates during the stirring cause the entrapment of air bubbles that would be difficult to remove from the final viscous product. Usage amount %0,1 - 3 Dispersed in water or other polar solvent;Neutralised with a suitable base.   100 Very fine white powder

Acrylic Copolymer In Emulsion Polygel W400 is suitable for alkaline products such as:• Liquid Abrasive Cleaners;• Floor Cleaners;• General Purpose Cleaners. Polygel W400 grants the following benefits:− Better aesthetic and anti-sagging properties;− Increased suspending capability in solid suspensions;− Clinging effects for all vertical surface cleaners;− Better shear thinning formulation performances. Polygel W400 thickens only after neutralisation phase.Dispersion has to be done by slow addition of polymer to the dispersing medium under stirring. It is advisable to use strong bases previously diluted with water at a concentration not exceeding 10% in order to obtain better results. Strong cationic substances could cause precipitation of the polymer, thus resulting in a permanent loss of viscosity. Viscous dispersions are stable under normal conditions since Polygel W400 neither promotes nor prevents the growth of micro-organisms.   30 Milky liquid
