SIMULGEL™ FL

Liquid Polymer Designed for Fluid Formulations

SIMULGEL™ FL is a liquid polymer produced by inverse emulsion polymerization. This is a solvent-free, energy efficient manufacturing process technology.

SIMULGEL™ FL is the best ally for fluid formulas. Slightly thickening, it has excellent oil stabilizing power even at low viscosity and good resistance to electrolytes.

This is the perfect partner to illustrate a fresh and light skin feel with liquid textures.
