CARBOPOL® ETD 2691 Polymer

Carbopol ETD 2691 polymer is a patented, easy to disperse lightly crosslinked polyacrylic acid polymer that is synthesized in a cosolvent ethyl acetate/cyclohexane mixture. It provides greater versatility in formulating because it is a fast wetting polymer. Carbopol ETD 2691 polymer has long flow characteristics with relatively low viscosity compared to other Carbopol polymers.

Product Benefits

  • Facilitates formulating and processing due to its ease of dispersion.
  • Provides excellent thickening efficiency to form high clarity gels.
  • Provides shear thinning rheology to enable easy pumping and dispensing of finished products via trigger sprayers.
  • Provides yield value to allow for the suspension of a wide variety of insoluble materials or particles. Yield value enables finished products to have vertical cling which is an important characteristic for products that are dispensed via a trigger spray or nozzle.
  • Stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions.
  • Suggested Applications
  • Auto care products
  • Hard surface cleaners
  • Liquid laundry detergents
  • Polishes
