Formulation Guide

Formulation Tips

  • Disperse Sensomer 10M polymer in cold water
    (<30°C) at maximum 10% solution, with agitation.
    Begin heating to 30-40°C and continue mixing until
    solubilized, as indicated by a clear solution.
  • Sensomer 10M polymer is compatible with most
    common anionic and amphoteric surfactants,
    which affords greater formulating flexibility.
  • In a surfactant system, it is preferable to complex
    the polymer with betaine or an amphoteric
    surfactant.
