Acrylates copolymer
Description
Acrylates Copolymer (CAS 25133-97-5) is a synthetic acrylic polymer derived from ethyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, and methacrylic acid monomers. It functions as a film-former, rheology modifier, and dispersant across personal care, coatings, and industrial applications.
In cosmetic formulations, it builds viscosity and stabilizes emulsions in products such as foundations, sunscreens, and hair styling gels. It delivers controlled texture and suspension of pigments or actives for high-performance beauty products.
Coating formulators use it to improve film integrity and adhesion on substrates including metal, plastic, and wood. Consistent rheology during application is a key processing requirement for these industrial coating systems.
In textile and paper processing, it acts as a binder and surface modifier, improving coating uniformity and durability of functional finishes. This ensures that the final treated materials maintain their structural integrity over time.
Adhesive and sealant manufacturers incorporate it to adjust tack, cohesion, and flow behavior in pressure-sensitive and structural formulations. This versatility makes it a staple component in modern chemical manufacturing and assembly.
Acrylates Copolymer is supplied as an aqueous dispersion or emulsion, with dry powder and solution forms available depending on grade. Cosmetic grades are produced to meet specifications aligned with international regulatory standards.
Technical and industrial grades are available for coatings, adhesives, and textile applications. Solids content and viscosity profiles vary by supplier specification to meet the specific needs of diverse manufacturing environments.
