Pemulen™ Polymers

Pemulen™ polymers are high molecular weight, crosslinked copolymers.. They are primarily used to form stable oil-in-water emulsions. Pemulen polymers contain both hydrophobic and hydrophilic portions within the molecule. The hydrophobic portion of the polymer adsorbs at the oil phase and the hydrophilic portion swells in the water forming a gel network around the oil droplets to provide exceptional emulsion stability.

Advantages

Pemulen polymers form stable oil-in-water emulsions with no or low levels of co-surfactant.
Efficient suspension and stabilization of insoluble materials and particles.
These polymers provide shear thinning rheology which enables easy pumping and spraying of finished products.
Typical uses include polishes and automotive care products.

Products

Product Name	Description
Pemulen™ 1621 polymer	Pemulen™ 1621 polymer is a moderately crosslinked, hydrophobically-modified, acrylic acid copolymer powder. It is designed to form stable oil-in-water emulsions at low use levels. It is a cost-effective polymer for medium viscosity emulsions recommended for use in automotive care, polishes and protectants. It is also suitable for use in anti-icing fluids.
Pemulen™ 1622 polymer	Pemulen™ 1622 polymer is a lightly crosslinked, hydrophobically-modified, acrylic acid copolymer powder. It is designed to form stable oil-in-water emulsions at low use levels. It is a cost-effective polymer for low viscosity emulsions recommended for use in sprayable automotive products, polishes and protectants.
