Poly(acrylic acid), 50% soln. in water [MW ~ 5,000]

Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) is a high-viscosity anionic polymer offering superior thickening, dispersing, and water-binding properties. This 50% aqueous solution is optimized for use in formulations requiring controlled viscosity and pH-dependent gel formation. PAA plays a crucial role in water treatment, adhesives, and personal care applications.

Applications:

Water Treatment & Scale Inhibition: Used as a dispersant to prevent scale buildup and enhance filtration efficiency.

Adhesives & Coatings: Improves film-forming properties, adhesion, and moisture retention in industrial coatings.

Personal Care & Hygiene Products: Functions as a stabilizer and thickener in cosmetics, lotions, and oral care formulations.

Detergents & Cleaning Agents: Enhances soil suspension and anti-redeposition properties in cleaning solutions.

Pharmaceutical Applications: Serves as a polymer matrix in drug delivery and bioadhesive applications.
