Request SDS →Acrylates/beheneth-25 methacrylate copolymer (CAS 156798-18-4) is a hydrophobically-modified alkali-swellable (HASE-type) acrylic copolymer. Copolymers of this class are used as rheology modifiers and thickeners that build viscosity and stabilize aqueous personal-care and household formulations on neutralization.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is acrylates/beheneth-25 methacrylate copolymer used for?
Acrylates/beheneth-25 methacrylate copolymer (CAS 156798-18-4) is a hydrophobically-modified alkali-swellable (HASE-type) acrylic copolymer used as an associative rheology modifier and thickener. It builds viscosity on neutralization and stabilizes aqueous personal-care and household formulations. RawSource supplies it for formulation use.
Is acrylates copolymer a plastic?
It is a synthetic acrylic polymer (a copolymer of acrylate and beheneth-25 methacrylate units), so it is polymeric in nature. In use it functions as a dissolved/swollen rheology modifier in aqueous systems rather than a molded plastic. Refer to the technical data sheet for form and handling.
How does this copolymer build viscosity?
As an alkali-swellable associative (HASE) thickener, it swells and builds viscosity when the formulation is neutralized to higher pH, with hydrophobic beheneth-25 groups providing associative thickening. Performance depends on neutralization and formulation; see the supplier technical data for recommended use levels.
What is the CAS number and INCI identity?
The INCI name is Acrylates/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Copolymer, CAS 156798-18-4, a HASE-type acrylic copolymer. Lot identity and active solids 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.
