SOLAGUM™ SH 210

SOLAGUM^TM SH 210 is a polymer based on HSD (Hydro Swelling Droplets); it inverts and swells when added to water.
SOLAGUM^TM SH 210 acts as a thickener & emulsifier and is produced from water-soluble monomers polymerized in a continuous oil phase.

Characteristics

Main properties of SOLAGUM^TM SH 210 are:

• Ready to use polymer in fluid form
• Compatible at any pH
• No heating neutralizing & maturing phases required
• Excellent emulsifier even with silicone oil
• Effective stabilizer of mineral charges

Solvent thickening

SOLAGUM^TM SH 210 can be used to develop anhydrous gels with oxygenated polar solvents: alcohols, esters, ethers, glycolether …
SOLAGUM^TM SH 210 is compatible with the following solvents: monoethylene glycol, monopropylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, DMSO, glycerol, methyl lactate.

Compatibility

1-Compatibility with surfactants
SOLAGUM^TM SH 210 is compatible with non-ionic, anionic and amphoteric surfactants. It is not compatible with cationic surfactants.

2-Compatibility with electrolytes
Electrolytes decrease the thickening effect of SOLAGUM^TM SH 210. Therefore, they should be added at the end of the process to adjust viscosity as desired. To formulate gels with large quantities of electrolytes the concentration of SOLAGUM^TM SH 210 has to be increased. In order to overcome this limitation, SOLAGUM^TM SH 210 can be associated with other thickeners such as SOLAGUM^TM AX, vinyl polymers...
