Carbopol® Aqua SF-1 Polymer – Highly Effective Waterborne Rheology Modifier

Operate Process

Dispersion and dissolution methods

Premix dispersion:

Add Carbopol® Aqua SF-1 slowly to the water phase under high-speed stirring (800-1200 rpm) to avoid agglomeration.

Neutralization and thickening:

Use a neutralizer (such as triethanolamine, sodium hydroxide) to adjust the pH to the target range (5.0-7.0), and the viscosity will increase rapidly.

Optimization process:

Avoid adding high salt or high electrolyte systems directly, which may affect the thickening efficiency.
