Texipol®

Water soluble monomers are polymerised in oil continuous phase.

Texipols are supplied as a free flowing liquid.

Texipols invert when added to water to allow the dispersed
polymer to hydrate and swell.

Texipols are pre-neutralised, they are already activated and will
thicken an aqueous system simply by addition.

Texipols give a degree of opacity to a formulation
