Hydrophobic Polymers for Liquid Cleaning Formulations

From Alco Chemical
 

 
A patented method to provide acrylic acid:styrene (AA:Sty)copolymers with a variety of AA:Sty mole ratios is described. This method allows the polymer to be provided as a solution in water with up to 50 mole percent styrene. The addition of significant amounts of styrene provides increased solubility in liquid laundry detergents without sacrificing the traditional benefits of typical polycarboxylates. Polycarboxylate polymers can now be supplied in water with a wide variety and significant molar level of hydrophobic monomers. These materials offer the formulator tremendous advantages over current materials with regard to compatibility and multifunctional performance. In this first of a series of articles, we will discuss how one particular type of polymer can provide added benefits, especially in liquid cleaning formulations.
