Carbopol® Aqua 30 polymer

Carbopol® Aqua 30 Polymer is a lightly crosslinked alkali-swellable acrylic emulsion polymer supplied as a 30% active polymer in water. It provides excellent suspension and stabilization with long flow characteristics and relatively low viscosity compared to other Carbopol polymers. Carbopol® Aqua 30 Polymer shows good compatibility with surfactants. It is recommended for use in low viscosity gels, emulsions and cleaners where suspension is required.

Storage Conditions

Recommended retest period is 365 days from the date of manufacture. Store in a dry location. Do not store in open, unlabeled or mislabeled containers. Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not freeze. Mild, thorough mixing before use will help to ensure that the polymer is in its original homogenous state. Filter before use.
