Synthalen®

INCI: Carbomer

SYNTHALEN® L is a synthetic polymer well known and widely used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry as a thickener and suspending agent due to its safety and versatility. SYNTHALEN® L is synthesized through a proprietary, benzene-free manufacturing technique. SYNTHALEN® L dispersions are characterized by low viscosity but a suspending ability higher than other carbomers. This makes SYNTHALEN® L the polymer of choice for the stabilization of fluid emulsions and suspensions.

INCI: Carbomer

SYNTHALEN® LP is a USP grade synthetic polymer well known and widely used in the pharmaceutical industry as thickener and suspending agent thanks to its safety and versatility. Obtained through a proprietary manufacturing technique, it is practically solvent free. SYNTHALEN® LP dispersions are characterized by high viscosity and clarity in a large range of pH. Therefore it is very suitable for formulating sparkling and clear gels as well as for stabilizing emulsions and dispersions for pharmaceutical applications.

INCI: Carbomer

SYNTHALEN® M is a synthetic polymer well known and widely used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry as a thickener and suspending agent due to its safety and versatility. SYNTHALEN® M is synthesized through a proprietary, benzene-free manufacturing technique. SYNTHALEN® M dispersions are characterized by low viscosity at 0.2% or less and high viscosity at higher concentrations (0.5% or more). These features provide the possibility to produce different products with a single polymer. Therefore, it is very suitable for stabilizing emulsions and suspensions both for cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.

INCI: Carbomer

SYNTHALEN® MP is a USP grade synthetic polymer well known and widely used in the pharmaceutical industry as thickener and suspending agent thanks to its safety and versatility. Obtained through a proprietary manufacturing technique, it is practically solvent free. In fact, its residual solvent, i.e, methylene chloride, amount is much lower than the solvent limits guidance recommended by the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) that for a solvent of class 2 is 600 ppm. SYNTHALEN® MP dispersions are characterized by high viscosity in a large range of pH. Therefore it is very suitable for formulating gels as well as for stabilizing emulsions and dispersions for pharmaceutical applications. It can be used in topical preparations, oral products, and retard systemic products (to release pharmaceutically active substances over an extended period of time when applied orally).

INCI: Acrylates / Palmeth 25 Acrylate Copolymer

SYNTHALEN® W2000 is an anionic acrylic copolymer supplied as a low viscosity latex emulsion. Water dispersions are characterized by high viscosity and clarity, and by an improved rheology, unusual in polymers that work with associative mechanisms. Therefore, it is suitable for formulating clear gels as well as for stabilizing oil-in-water emulsions. Immediate dispersion, clarity, and good compatibility with PVP, and PVP/VA make SYNTHALEN® W2000 the ideal polymer for the formulation of hair gels.

INCI: Acrylates Copolymer

SYNTHALEN® W400 is an anionic acrylic copolymer supplied as a low viscosity o/w emulsion. Its immediate dispersion, clarity, and good compatibility with surfactants make SYNTHALEN® W400 the ideal polymer for the formulation of surfactant systems, especially when high suspending ability is required. Many types of insoluble ingredients are easily suspended and stabilized including: beads and capsules, polyethylene, walnut shell, luffa, pumice, pearlizing and opacifying agents, pigments, and zinc pyrithione.

INCI: Acrylates Copolymer

SYNTHALEN® W600 is an anionic acrylic copolymer supplied as a low viscosity O/W emulsion. Its water dispersions, when neutralized, are characterized by medium viscosity, high yield value and clarity in a large range of pH, and show typical pseudoplastic behaviour. In water the polymer starts to swell at pH 6. In the presence of other components such as surfactants, the viscosity builds up at lower pH.
