Description Sodium salt of polyacrylic acid. It is an acrylic-based polymer used to thicken aqueous solutions and to stabilize emulsions. Has anionic properties.

Application Hair care, sanitized hand soaps, scrub formulations

Features And Benefits Superabsorbent polymer. Absorbs many times its weight of aqueous fluids.
Absorbs aqueous fluids to give gels which retain fluids under stress. Polymer swells in water but does not dissolve. Amount of aqueous fluid absorbed decreases with increasing salt content.
