GelMaker EMU is an emulsifying and gelling polymer thickener. It is a pre-neutralised polymer in an inverse emulsion that forms hydro-swelling droplets in water. It emulsifies all kinds of oily phases such as silicones and vegetable oils. It can produce cold emulsions, stabilise emulsions, and maintain the viscosity of a formula.
- Excellent thickener by forming gels over a wide ph range (4-12)
- Emulsifies all kinds of oily phases (up to 40%) including silicones and vegetable oils without the addition of a conventional emulsifier
- Able to produce cold emulsions
- Stabilises emulsions and maintains the viscosity of a formula
- Gives light and pleasant texture to spread on skin
For emulsions:use at 0.5-2% It can be added into fat or water phase, or at the end of emulsification. Needs good mixing with hand mixer to get smooth creams.
For gel creams: use at 1-5%. When using over 3% use at least 12% oils for best performance. For external use only.
CAS: 77019-71-7, 4390-04-9, 9005-65-6
INCI; Sodium acrylate / sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer, isohexadecane, polysorbate 80
Composition: Sodium acrylate / sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer, isohexadecane, polysorbate 80
Appearance: Translucent, slightly viscous liquid
pH Value: pH: 5-7 (2% aqueous gel)
Solubility: Dispersible in water
Preservation: Preservative-free
Storage: Store in a closed container at a dry place at room temperature
Country of Origin: France
Raw Material Source: Sodiumacrylate, sorbitol, vegetable oils, petroleum derivatives
Manufacture: The copolymer is made by polymerization of sodiumacrylate and sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate monomers. Isohexadecane is made in a multi-step process to form a branched C16 hydrocarbon from petroleum derivatives. Polysorbate 80 is obtained by esterification of sorbitol with one or three molecules of a fatty acid including stearic, lauric, oleic, and palmitic acid.
Animal Testing: Not animal tested
