Synthalen® L is a synthetic polymer that is well-known and widely used as a thickener and suspending agent in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries due to its safety and versatility. It is virtually solvent free because it is produced using a proprietary manufacturing technique (50 ppm max methylene chloride). Synthalen® L dispersions have a low viscosity but a higher suspending ability than other carbomers. As a result, Synthalen® L is the polymer of choice for fluid emulsion and suspension stabilisation. Agent of thickening.
