Hairpol chemical is a synthetic high molecular weight cross linked water soluble polymer of acrylic acid,
which is known as "Carbomer". It's application is cosmetic, pharmaceutical and household industries.
It is available in liquid form, which is soluble in water, alcohols and glycols. Before neutralization, pH of hairpol grade solution lies between 2.5 and 3.0.
General Application: Thickening - To produce wide range of viscosities and flow properties
Suspending - Insoluble ingredients
Stablizing - Emulsion

ADVANTAGES
- Thickening efficiency: Low viscosity at high concentration
- Uniform performance: Carbomer gives uniform viscosity performance, while natural gums vary in their performance
- Temperature Stability: There is no significant effect of temperature on polymer
- Unaffected by aging: Excellent shelf life
- Microbial Resistance: Resists bacterial attack and does not support mould growth
- Versatility: Although primarily used in aqueous systems with neutralization, it can also be used in solvent systems, with or without neutralization
- Elegance: Smooth and luxurious feeling
SELF LIFE
Liquid form - One year from date of manufacturing in intact condition
Powder form - Five year from date of manufacturing in intact condition
TOXICITY
Hairpol range is a high molecular weight polymer. It cannot be absorbed by body, thus it is totally
safe for human consumption. Test for toxicological tolerance shows that it does not have any pronounced,
physiological action and is non-toxic.
Dermal irritation (in vitro test) - non irritant
Eye irritation (in vitro test) - non irritant
Skin sensitization (max. test) - non sensitizing
STORAGE & HANDLING
Hairpol range is highly hygroscopic in supplied form, it contains maximum of 2.0% moisture. When exposed to open air at
room temperature and 50% relative humidity, its equilibrium moisture uptake is 8.0%. All moisture uptake does not affect
its efficiency but polymer with high level of moisture is more difficult to disperse and weigh accurately. So, hairpol
polymers must be stored in a tightly closed container and away from direct contact with water and excessive humid conditions.
Hairpol polymer's efficiency will not get affected up to two hours at temperatures below 104oC. When it is exposed
to excessive temperatures, it can be plasticized and lose its characteristics.
PACKING
Liquid form - 60 kg plastic carboys and 200 kg plastic drum.
