Stabileze™ QM polymer

Technical Datasheet | Supplied by Ashland

PVM/MA Decadiene Crosspolymer. Stabileze™ QM polymer by Ashland acts as a rheology modifier. It is based on a poly(methyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride decadiene) crosspolymer.

Exhibits readily hydrolyzed & neutralized to form gels, water-clear for strong visual impact, readily shear thinning for pumping/pouring/spraying, high yield values for suspension and capable of emulsifying hydrophobic materials.
It is a pseudoplastic rheology modifier that yields clear and aqueous gels that are shear thinning.
The resulting gels have good shear and temperature stability.
It delivers exceptional thickening, suspending and stabilizing capability in aqueous & non-aqueous systems, even at low use levels or low pH.
It allow strong gels with quick break for processing, spreading and dispensing.
It imparts exceptional skin feel and stability to emulsions.
It is compatible with a wide range of ingredients including polyquaterniums and has limited compatibility with salts & some anionic surfactants.
Stabileze™ QM polymer uses in formulating hair care (aqueous, hydroalcoholic & sprayable gels and novel stylers), body care, facial care, sun care (after-sun, self-tanning and sunscreen) products and hand sanitizer.
