NM-Carbomer Aqua 20

INCI Name: Acrylates/ Steareth-20 Methacrylate Copolymer

NM-Carbomer Aqua 20 is an anionic hydrophobically modified alkali-soluble

acrylic polymer emulsion (HASE) with unusually high aqueous thickening and stabilizing

efficiency. This thickener is a liquid, cold-processable product that instantaneously thickens

upon neutralization providing ease of handling and increased manufacturing efficiency.

It is offered at 30% solids and specifically imparts efficient thickening properties, to formulations containing

high levels of surfactants. NM-Carbomer Aqua 20 is also with advantage to produce very clear formulations

containing high levels of surfactants.
