SYNTHALEN® M is a synthetic polymer well known and widely used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry as a thickener and suspending agent due to its safety and versatility. SYNTHALEN® M is synthesized through a proprietary, benzene-free manufacturing technique. SYNTHALEN® M dispersions are characterized by low viscosity at 0.2% or less and high viscosity at higher concentrations (0.5% or more). These features provide the possibility to produce different products with a single polymer. Therefore, it is very suitable for stabilizing emulsions and suspensions both for cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.
