Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Other names: Acrylate Crosspolymer, Carbopol 1342, C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, also known as Acrylate Crosspolymer or Carbopol 1342, is a polymer used in the cosmetic industry as a thickening and emulsifying agent. This chemical is perfect for cosmetic product development because it mixes well with water and alcohol. Thanks to its properties, it produces a gel-like consistency, slows down the separation of fatty phases and enhances the viscosity of products. Acrylate Crosspolymer can therefore be found in a wide range of products - from face creams, shampoos, conditioners to lipsticks and other cosmetic products.

The use of Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer in cosmetics is particularly appreciated for its ability to increase viscosity, resulting in generally better product consistency. This makes cosmetic products easier to apply and more evenly distributed over the skin or hair. In addition, Acrylate Crosspolymer is also used in some cleaning and disinfecting products because it can stabilize thin solutions and slow the separation of individual ingredients. Due to its properties, this polymer is also used in industry as a thickening agent in paints or in the food industry. It is important to note that according to experts, Acrylate Crosspolymer is safe for human health in concentrations common to cosmetic and personal care products.
