VISCOLAM® AT 100 P is a ready-to-use rheology modifier for O/W emulsions. It is not only a thickening agent, but also an excellent stabilizer and texturizing agent. It is a pre-neutralized, liquid polymer in inverse emulsion, easy to process and to handle. It is extremely versatile, with a broad pH compatibility, being suitable both for hair or skin care applications. It can be used to develop formulas of any consistency, from thin lotions to rich creams and butters. It guarantees a fresh and melting skin feel.Physical form: liquid
VISCOLAM® AT 100 P is a 3-in-1 rheology modifier: in one single step, it can thicken, stabilize and emulsify O/W emulsions. This multifunctional polymer develops fresh formulations that readily melt on the skin. Creamgels have the advantage of having a pleasant light texture, suitable also for oily skin, as well as for hot and humid climates. A wide variety of textures can be achieved with VISCOLAM® AT, from extra-fluid, sprayable to thick textures.
VISCOLAM® AT 100 P is a readyto- use liquid polymer produced by inverse emulsion polymerization. It comes as a pre-neutralized polymer, dispersed in an oily phase. The intrinsic morphology of the polymer resulting from this process is an important part of its final properties and gives it a unique, multifunctional character.
VISCOLAM® AT 100 P is based on the “Hydro Swelling Droplets” concept. When added to polar systems under stirring, the W/O emulsion instantly inverts to O/W and the polymer network expands in a few seconds thickening and stabilizing the formulation.
