Volarest FL

The Rheology Modifier for Innovative Product Textures

Supplier: Croda International
Type: Technical Datasheet

Volarest FL (Acrylates/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Copolymer) is a unique polymer designed to enhance both consumer and formulator experiences. It provides innovative rheological properties for aqueous-based cosmetic formulations, enabling controlled, targeted delivery and weightless suspension of emollients and beads in low-viscosity fluids. This versatile polymer is ideal for sprayable emulsions, water lotions, and clear suspensions, creating visually appealing and effective product formats.

Key Properties

Innovative Benefits for Personal Care Formulations:

• Novel Textures: Creates elegant and appealing textures for end users.

• Controlled Delivery: Enables targeted, drip-free application from sprayable formats.

• Weightless Suspension: Suspends particulates, beads, or emollients in low-viscosity systems.

• Ease of Use: Cold processable and compatible with diverse formulation types.

Claims

• Enhances sprayable emulsions for targeted delivery.

• Provides shear-thinning rheology with immediate viscosity recovery.

• Improves sensory attributes, offering non-tacky, lightweight after-feel.

Applications

Personal Care:

• Sprayable body moisturizers.

• Lightweight water lotions.

• Sunscreen sprays with no-drip application.

• Clear suspensions for visually appealing products.
