Chromapol™ 5 polymer

Acrylates/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Copolymer. Chromapol™ 5 polymer by Lubrizol is an emulsifier, rheology modifier and thickener. It is a highly efficient hydrophobically modified alkali-swellable acrylic emulsion (HASE) polymer. It is designed for providing enhanced viscosity and emulsion stability to hair color systems. It does not contain, and is not derived from, GMO or any material of plant or animal origin. It produces an elegant smooth flow as well as a non-drip shear-thinning rheology and high clarity gels. It is also used for oils, silicones & esters and allows for the creation of crystal-clear gel as well as cream hair colors. It allows to formulate products free from fatty alcohols, maximizing formulation flexibility while maintaining color efficiency. It provides the potential to improve sustainability profile due to cold process. It offers pleasing hair sensory and color vibrancy, especially when combined with Merquat™ conditioning polymers. Chromapol™ 5 polymer is used in formulating gels and creams.
