Presperse LLC has been appointed as the North American Distributor for the Aqupec line of polymeric thickeners manufactured by Sumitomo Seika.
The line includes several new products and a number of carbomers that have already been used for years in the cosmetic industry under various trade names for thickening, suspending, stabilizing and gelling water-based formulations.
The newly introduced products include variations of Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer chemistry offering Super Electrolyte Resistance, according to the company. These two new products, SER W-150 and SER W-300, can thicken solutions containing over 4% salt, yet still retain substantial clarity and stable viscosities.
Aqupec HV-701EDR is another grade that is especially exciting now, as it is so well suited for preparing clear hand sanitizing gels containing high concentrations of alcohol. This product is also specially processed to minimize the dispersion time, said Presperse.
