Request SDS →Acrylates/steareth-20 methacrylate copolymer (CAS 206886-68-2) is a hydrophobically-modified alkali-swellable (HASE-type) acrylic copolymer. Copolymers of this class function as rheology modifiers and thickeners, building viscosity and providing suspension and emulsion stability in aqueous personal-care and household formulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is acrylates/steareth-20 methacrylate copolymer used for?
Acrylates/steareth-20 methacrylate copolymer (CAS 206886-68-2) is a hydrophobically-modified alkali-swellable (HASE-type) acrylic copolymer used as an associative rheology modifier and thickener. It builds viscosity and provides suspension and emulsion stability in aqueous personal-care and household formulations. RawSource supplies it for formulation use.
Is acrylates/steareth-20 methacrylate copolymer a plastic?
It is a synthetic acrylic copolymer and therefore polymeric, but it functions as a swollen associative thickener in aqueous systems rather than as a molded plastic. Refer to the technical data sheet for physical form and use levels.
How does this HASE copolymer thicken a formulation?
It is alkali-swellable: it swells and builds viscosity when neutralized to higher pH, with steareth-20 hydrophobic groups providing associative thickening and emulsion/suspension stabilization. Final performance depends on neutralization and surfactant load; see supplier technical data for guidance.
What is the CAS number and INCI identity?
The INCI name is Acrylates/Steareth-20 Methacrylate Copolymer, CAS 206886-68-2, a HASE-type acrylic copolymer typically supplied as an aqueous dispersion. Active solids and lot identity are confirmed on the Certificate of Analysis.
How is this copolymer packaged and quoted in bulk?
RawSource supplies polymer dispersions in pails, drums, and IBCs/totes depending on volume. Active solids, packaging, lead time, and pricing are quoted per order; submit volume and destination for a bulk quote, with SDS and CoA on shipment.
