Published: 4-Oct-2011

Novemer™ EC-2 Polymer provides superior sensory properties and electrolyte tolerance


The Lubrizol Corporation’s Noveon® Consumer Specialties business has launched Novemer™ EC-2 polymer. The multifunctional, easy-to-use, pre-neutralized liquid polymer is designed to thicken, emulsify, co-emulsify, stabilize and suspend a variety of oil phase components in even the most challenging skin care formulations. Offering unique sensory properties and strong electrolyte tolerance, it enables the formulation of smooth and elegant emulsions with a single polymer.

Highly versatile, Novemer EC-2 polymer offers unmatched viscosity building and unsurpassed yield value across a range of use levels, making it ideal for finished formulations ranging from low viscosity lotions to high viscosity creams. Due to its liquid form, Novemer EC-2 polymer can be used in hot or cold processing and may be added to the manufacturing process at any time for final viscosity adjustments.

Key benefits of Novemer EC-2 Polymer include multifunctional capability to effectively stabilize emulsions providing excellent thickening and suspension properties; high efficiency in the presence of difficult-to-thicken electrolytes and actives at pH 5.5-11; excellent shear stability; and an elegant sensory profile (spreading, cascading effect, delicate and soft afterfeel).
