Acrypol TR-2 polymeric emulsifiers are high molecular weight, cross linked copolymers of acrylic acid and a hydrophobic comonomer. They stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, where the lipophilic (hydrophobic) portion of the polymer adsorbs at the oil-water interface, and the hydrophilic portion swells in the water forming a gel network around oil droplets to provide exceptional emulsion stability to a broad range of oils. They are used as stabilizers of oil-in-water systems, with up to 60% oil loading possible at typical use levels of 0.15 to 0.3%. Acrypol TR-2 polymeric emulsifier contains the higher level of hydrophobic groups and can emulsify the highest levels of oil (up to 60% by weight) within a pH range of 4 to 5. Acrypol TR-2 polymeric emulsifier is highly effective at levels below 0.4%, providing a low-viscosity emulsion particularly suitable for applications via spray mechanism.
