Acrypol ELT-21 is an alkali-swellable acrylic emulsion (ASE) polymer designed to deliver superior thickening, stabilization, and suspension in cosmetic and personal care formulations. Offered as a low-viscosity liquid emulsion, it eliminates the lengthy hydration times, dust hazards, and clumping associated with traditional powder carbomers, allowing formulators to streamline production through rapid, cold-process manufacturing.

When neutralized with an appropriate base, Acrypol ELT-21 undergoes rapid swelling to form crystal-clear gels with a smooth, luxurious rheology. It imparts outstanding yield value, allowing low-viscosity systems to effortlessly suspend heavy particulates—such as exfoliating beads, decorative glitters, pigments, and encapsulated active ingredients—without phase separation or settling over time.

Beyond its physical stability benefits, it significantly enhances product aesthetics. It provides a non-tacky, non-sticky feel upon application, imparting a silky skin feel and clean wash-off profile. Highly compatible with non-ionic and anionic surfactants, Acrypol ELT-21 is an ideal solution for developing premium body washes, facial cleansers, hair styling gels, hand sanitizers, and emulsion-based creams where high clarity, reliable viscosity, and efficient suspension are required.

Benefits:
-Instant & Easy Processing: Supplied as a liquid emulsion that disperses easily without heating or long hydration times, simplifying cold-process manufacturing.
-Superior Thickening & Clarity: Yields crystal-clear gels and smooth, highly viscous liquids upon neutralization.
-Excellent Suspension Power: Effectively suspends pigments, exfoliants, beads, and air bubbles without settling.
-Smooth Rheology & Flow: Imparts a non-sticky, non-tacky feel with clean pourability and smooth application aesthetics.
-Broad Compatibility: Performs well alongside surface-active agents, non-ionic surfactants, and standard cosmetic ingredients.

Uses:
-Clear Gels & Styling Products: Ideal for crystal-clear hair styling gels, hand sanitizers, and body gels.
-Cleansing Formulations: Thickens and stabilizes liquid body washes, facial cleansers, shampoo bases, and hand soaps.
-Emulsions & Creams: Functions as a co-emulsifier and viscosity builder in lotions, creams, and sun care formulations.
-Specialty Suspension Formulations: Used to formulate scrub gels containing suspended jojoba beads, pumice, or decorative glitters.
