ANTARA™ 430/POLECTRON™ 430 polymer is a white, thermoplastic, 38-41 percent solids, latex produced as a graft, emulsion copolymer of 30 percent polyvinylpyrrolidone and 70 percent styrene in the presence of an anionic surfactant. It functions as an opacifier in liquid detergents, and as a film-forming polymer in waxes, polishes, and synthetic starches.
ACRYLIDONE LM is a high molecular weight, film-forming anionic terpolymer composed of vinylpyrrolidone and an acrylate backbone with a hydrophobic pendant C-12 chain. It is insoluble in ethanol and water until neutralized for easy dispersion. It exhibits synergistic thickening when combined with associative rheology modifiers.
CAPTIVATES™ HC ENCAPSULATES are core/shell microcapsules produced via complex coacervation using naturally derived gelatin and acacia (gum arabic) as the principal wall materials; they range from 15 μm to 2000 μm in diameter. Captivates HC encapsulates with a minimum diameter above 250 μm can be used in otherwise clear or homogeneously opaque carriers to provide a striking visual impact while delivering actives or other ingredients with beneficial properties. Smaller microcapsules in the 15 μm to 50 μm range and can be used to deliver fragrances or other lipophilic active ingredients onto substrates such as fabrics or hard surfaces. The optimization of size, core content and wall structure allows the properties of the microcapsules to be controlled and used in a wide range of formulations.
