Sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate-sodium acrylate polymer

Sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate-sodium acrylate polymer (CAS 37350-42-8) is an anionic copolymer used across water treatment, personal care, and industrial applications for rheology control.

It is commercially available in emulsion form as sodium acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate (ATBS) copolymer, often blended with mineral oil and trideceth-6 for direct formulation use.

In water treatment, the polymer functions as a flocculant and dispersant, improving solids separation in municipal and industrial effluent processes. It provides excellent performance in diverse conditions.

Personal care formulators use the ATBS copolymer emulsion grade to build viscosity and stabilize emulsions in creams, lotions, and sunscreens without requiring high shear mixing during the process.

Home care and industrial cleaning products rely on it to suspend particles and maintain formula stability across a wide pH range. This versatility makes it a staple in modern chemical manufacturing.

In textile and paper processing, it acts as a retention and drainage aid, improving fiber binding and reducing raw material loss during production. This enhances overall efficiency and output quality.

The polymer is supplied as an aqueous dispersion or oil-in-water emulsion, with the pre-blended mineral oil and trideceth-6 format being standard for cosmetic applications and general use.

Technical and industrial grades are available for water treatment and process industries. Purity and active content specifications vary by grade, with cosmetic-grade material typically conforming to standards.
