Ultrez 20 INCI: Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate CrosspolymerAppearance: Fluffy fine white powderCAS#: 9007-20-9 Ultrez 20 is one of the easiest Carbopol Polymers to use as a "gelling" agent. It is designed to be used as a thickener, suspending agent, and stabilizer in making cosmetics. Its unique structure allows it to expand rapidly when added to liquids and provides moderate-to-high viscosity in skincare products. Carbopol polymer performs effectively across a broad pH range, making it a versatile ingredient for many applications. Skin BenefitsWhen used in shampoo and body wash formulations, Carbopol polymer helps to suspend and stabilize beads, microcapsules, and exfoliants for excellent product stability and visual appeal. Ultrez 20 exhibits good clarity in gel formulations and provides a smooth, aesthetically pleasing gel quality. In creams and lotions, it helps to create emulsions with a rich and creamy skin feel. It can be used confidently in systems where sparkling clarity is required and is ideally suited for use in formulations containing higher levels of oils, botanical ingredients, or humectants. Application: Carbopol polymer provides excellent performance in a wide range of products, including shampoos, lotions, creams, body washes, hair, and gel masks. Formulation Guide: Recommended Usage: 0.1- 1%, depending on your needs. How to use:- Sprinkle polymer on the surface of the water and allow it to self-wet- Gently stir. Vigorous agitation produces foam and traps air. Avoid foam formation as much as you can.- Add neutralizer (such as TEA) to adjust pH roughly 5.0-6.0 to thicken the solutionCarbopol polymer can be pre- or post-neutralized (depending on the application). This is a cosmetic raw material. It is meant for external use only in cosmetic formulations. As with all of our materials, it should not be taken internally.
