ACRYLAMIDE and AMMONIUM ACRYLATE COPOLYMER and MINERAL OIL and LAURETH-7

ACRYLAMIDE&AMMONIUM ACRYLATE COPOLYMER&MINERAL OIL&LAURETH-7 CAS NO 26100-47-0 How This Acrylic Copolymer Thickener Is Made This product is made of a copolymer of acrylamide and ammonium acrylate dispersed in cosmetic grade mineral oil with Laureth-7 as a nonionic surfactant. The acrylamide copolymer is synthesized via aqueous free radical polymerization to form a water-swellable polymer network. Mineral oil acts as a stable non-volatile carrier, while Laureth-7 enhances emulsification. The final product is a milky white liquid with 60% active ingredient content, designed to achieve high thickening efficiency in aqueous systems and remain stable over a wide pH range.   Role in Cosmetics This emulsion base functions as an aqueous thickener, emulsifier, and rheology modifier. Only 0.5%–2% is added to form a smooth, stable cream and lotion base that ensures a uniform product texture. The acrylamide copolymer is responsible for regulating viscosity and maintaining formula stabi…
