- 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.
