Features and Benefits

• Allows for cold or hot processing enabling flexible processing requirements
• Can emulsify the highest levels of oil, up to 50% by weight, within a pH range of 4.0 - 5.0
• Enables formulation of water-resistant oil-in-water emulsions because formulations do not require the use of surfactants
• Enhanced sensory - light, refreshing and light residue
• No HLB calculation required when formulating
• PEG-free

Product Highlights

Pemulen™ TR-2 polymer is a polymeric emulsifier is a high molecular weight, crosslinked copolymer of acrylic acid and a hydrophobic C10-30 alkyl acrylate co-monomer. It is a versatile, non-ethoxylated polymer designed to create stable and mild oil-inwater emulsions at low use levels. It provides low viscosity emulsions particularly suitable for skin care applications via spray mechanism.
