INCI Name: Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer
Technology:
Styrene acrylate emulsion that modifies the appearance of formulations through efficient light scattering.
Formulation Guidelines:
Formulation components, ionicity and pH should be chosen for optimal formulation stability.
Order of Addition:
For maximum results, it is recommended that OPULYN Opacifiers are diluted with product water (held out of the formulation) added slowly as the final component to the formulation (after pH adjustments, addition of dye, salt, perfume, etc.).
Good agitation should be maintained throughout the addition process.
If pre-dilution is not possible or desired, OPULYN Opacifiers can also be added directly to formulation slowly and with good agitation.
If desired, OPULYN Opacifiers can also be added directly after the formulation initial water charge.
Neutralization of OPULYN 301:
Due to low dosage rates, the low pH of OPULYN 301 should not affect the pH of the final formulation.
Note: if tap water is used to pre-dilute, the pH will automatically increase to pH 4-5 and neutralization may not be required.
Compatibilityvof OPULYN 301:
There are several formulation parameters that can affect the stability of an opacified formulation, such as level of electrolytes and cationic ingredients, the pH and choice of surfactants.
All of the OPULYN Opacifiers behave differently in these systems.
OPULYN 301 has the broadest compatibility across a variety of applications.
Both OPULYN 303B and OPULYN 305 offer a very good compatibility in the presence of high levels of inorganic electrolytes.
In addition, OPULYN 303B also has very good compatibility with cationic-based systems with low levels of anionic surfactants.
OPULYN 302B is the preferred choice for formulations with soft preservatives due to its compatibility in the lower pH range.
Evaluating Formulation Stability:
Four week stability tests under high, low and room temperature conditions as well as 3 cycles of freeze/thaw stability are recommended as a best practice for any formulation containing opacifiers.
Overcoming Depletion Flocculation:
Flocculation and sedimentation are the two most common symptoms of formulation instability.
Certain conditions, such as high betaine levels, high electrolyte levels or the presence of cationic ingredients, can pose additional stability challenges in a formulation.
For these specific conditions, ACULYN 28 or ACULYN 88 Rheology Modifiers are the preferred choice as a primary or secondary thickening agent.
Their high efficiency and excellent suspension performance will both build viscosity and help to prevent flocculation or sedimentation.
Cleaning:
After use, process equipment should be cleaned with high pressure washing or an appropriate cleaning solution.
Safety OPULYN 301 has a safe toxicological profile for a broad range of personal care products.
A summary of the toxicity information is available on request.
Storage of OPULYN 301:
OPULYN 301 is supplied as a 40% solids emulsion with a maximum viscosity of <50 cps at room temperature (25°C).
The recommended storage temperature for this material is 4°C to 40°C.
Keep from freezing.
If exposed to temperatures below 4°C or above 40°C for extended periods, material may become unusable.
