ASHLAND 980 CARBOMER by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a rheology modifier, emulsifying, conditioning, foaming, gelling and suspension agent. Exhibits pseudoplastic rheological behavior. It is a cross-linked polymer of acrylic acid.

ISP - STABILEZE QM polymer by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a rheology modifier. It is based on methylvinylether/maleic anhydride and delivers exceptional thickening, suspending and stabilizing capability in aqueous and non-aqueous systems, even at low use levels or low pH. It disperses easily in water and forms clear, aqueous gels. Its shear-thinning properties allow strong gels with quick break for processing, spreading and dispensing. Moreover, it formulates into clear products and is effective over wide pH range. It imparts exceptional skin feel and stability to emulsions. It can create sprayable polyelectrolyte matrix when formulated with linear, high molecular weight cationic or pseudocationic polymers. It is compatible with a wide range of ingredients including polyquaterniums and has limited compatibility with salts & some anionic surfactants.

RAPITHIX A 100 polymer by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a rheology modifier and emollient-based dispersant. It provides soft & smooth feel, formulation flexibility and high solid content for higher efficiency. It is easy to use, shear-tolerant and effective at low usage levels. Suitable for use in cold-mix processes and can be post-added to adjust viscosity after emulsion formation and cooling.

POLYPLASDONE™ XL by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a rheology modifier and tablet disintegrant. It is a non-ionic, water-insoluble but swellable crosslinked PVP homopolymer. Due to porous particle morphology, it acts as super disintegrants, providing rapid disintegration to denture-cleaning tablets.
