Areas of potential use for UCARE™ Extreme Polymer encompass a wide range of cosmetic and toiletry applications such as:
- Rinse-off conditioners
- Shampoos
- Leave-on conditioners
- Styling products
- Body washes
- Formulating Tips
There are two methods for preparing UCARE™ Extreme Polymer for incorporation into formulation.
Direct addition to the aqueous phase:- UCARE™ Extreme Polymer can be incorporated into the aqueous phase of the formulation directly without pre-dissolving in water.
Prior polymer hydration:
- Hydration of the polymer is accomplished by slowly adding the dry powder into agitated room temperature water and allowing it to mix until the solution is uniform and clear.
- Hydration can be accelerated by heating the solution to 65°C.
- Once the polymer is fully hydrated, simply add the solution directly to the surfactant system blend with mixing.
- Hydration may be accomplished separately or as a first step in the manufacturing procedure.
