CARBOPOL® EZ-3 Polymer
Carbopol EZ-3 polymer is a patented, self wetting crosslinked polyacrylic acid polymer that is synthesized in a cosolvent ethyl acetate/cyclohexane mixture. It provides greater versatility in formulating because it quickly and easily self wets without any mixing required. Carbopol EZ-3 polymer has short flow characteristics with relatively high viscosity compared to other Carbopol polymers.
Product Benefits
- Facilitates formulating and processing because it is a self-wetting polymer that requires no dispersion agitation.
- Provides excellent thickening efficiency to form high clarity gels.
- Offers high electrolyte tolerance.
- 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.
- Serves as a versatile, all purpose thickener and rheology modifier
- Suggested Applications
- All purpose cleaners
- Auto care products
- Gelled fuels
- Industrial hand cleaners
- Polishes
- Surfactant gels
