SOLAGUM™ USPI
Thickener & emulsifying polymer for industrial applications
SOLAGUM™ USPI is a polymer based on HSD (Hydro Swelling Droplets). It is produced from water-soluble monomers polymerized in a continuous oil phase. The droplets swell when added to water, thus enabling the polymer to expand. SOLAGUM™ USPI acts then as a thickener & emulsifier in the formulation.
To remember
- Polymer in fluid form ready-to-use
- Compatible at any pH (2-13)
- No heating, neutralizing &maturing phases required
- Excellent emulsifier even with silicone oil
- Ideal to manufacture sprayable gels
Compatibilities
- SOLAGUM™ USPI is compatible with non-ionic, anionic and amphoteric surfactants. It is not compatible with CATIONIC surfactants !
- SOLAGUM™ USPI is compatible with the following solvents: monoethylene glycol, monopropylene glycol, glycerol, DMSO, N-Methyl Pyrrolidone…
- SOLAGUM™ USPI is sensitive to electrolytes. To prevent as much as possible ia drop of viscosity, electrolytes should be added at the end of the process and Solagum™ USPI should be used at a stronger dosage and/or be associated with other tickeners such as Solagum™ AX, vinyl polymers…
