ACULYN(TM) 38 Polymer is an alkali-swellable anionic acrylic polymer emulsion (ASE) that is lightly crosslinked to impart a short pseudoplastic flow. It is a liquid, cold-processable product that instantaneously thickens upon neutralization, providing ease of handling and increased manufacturing efficiency. This thickener is offered at 28% solids and has been developed for use as a rheology modifier and suspending agent for personal care surfactant formulations. It is effective in a range of personal care surfactants and is useful at a pH range of 3 - 11, depending on the formulation. It is stable in the presence of sodium chloride and two common conditioning agents, polyquaternium-7 and polyquaternium-10, as well as polar solvents and zinc pyrithione. The polymer has a well-established toxicological profile and is safe in normal use.

XIAMETER(TM) OFX-8220 Fluid is an amino functional polydimethylsiloxane.

XIAMETER(TM) PMX-200 Silicone Fluid 12,500 cSt is a high-viscosity polydimethylsiloxane polymer manufactured to yield essentially linear polymers in a wide range of viscosities. The viscosities generally used in formulating polishes are in the range of 100 to 30,000 cSt. It is preferable to use a blend of a low-viscosity fluid and a high-viscosity fluid (e.g. 3 parts XIAMETER(TM) PMX- 200 Silicone Fluid 100 cSt and 1 part XIAMETER(TM) PMX-200 Silicone Fluid 12,500 cSt) to obtain optimum results in terms of ease of application and depth of gloss. The low-viscosity silicone fluid acts as a lubricant to make polish application and rubout easier, whereas the high-viscosity silicone fluid produces a greater depth of gloss. Since these polymers are inherently water-repellent, they will cause water to bead up on a treated surface rather than penetrate the polish film.
