INCI Name: Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Crosspolymer

CAS Number: 75-65-0

Description

Aristoflex® AVS is a synthetic polymer used as a gelling agent for aqueous systems and as a texturiser, and thickener for oil-in-water emulsions. The polymer is pre-neutralised, easy to use, and provides formulations with excellent yield value, corresponding to superior stability even without an additional emulsifier. Emulsions formulated with Aristoflex® AVS provide favourable shear thinning effects and viscoelastic properties. Besides the rheological aspects, excellent sensory properties (good skin feel, low degree of stickiness, and tackiness) characterize formulations comprising Aristoflex® AVS.

Benefits

  • Good stabilization
  • Thickening and emulsification properties

Applications

  • O/W emulsions
  • Clear aqueous gels
  • Emulsifier-free cream gels
  • Ideal for creams, lotions, milks, gels, etc.

Formulation Guide

Recommended Usage Level

  • It is typically used in the range of 0.5 – 1.2 %

Recommended PH range

  • Aristoflex® AVS can be used in a broad pH range of 4.0 – 11.0

Formulation Tips

  • Aristoflex® AVS is typically added to the oil phase (comprising emollient and emulsifier), slight agitation facilitates dispersion.
  • Any small aggregates can be broken up easily with gentle stirring.
  • The mixing reactor should be completely dry of moisture to prevent the polymer from migrating prematurely to any water already present and becoming gummy.
  • Aristoflex® AVS can be used for both direct emulsification (i.e. adding the oil phase to the water phase) and inverse emulsification (i.e. adding the water phase to the oil phase).
  • As Aristoflex® AVS is pre-neutralized, no
    neutralization step is required. Finally, the emulsion is homogenized with high shear mixing equipment.
