Allianz™ OPT polymer INCI Name: Acrylates/C12-22 Alkylmethacrylate Copolymer
Allianz OPT polymer is designed to deliver water resistance and wear resistance to skin care and sun care formulations, including color cosmetics. Allianz OPT polymer is ideal for use in low-viscosity (sprayable) oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, nonionic emulsification systems and when cold processes are required. Allianz OPT polymer can also be used as an
effective thickener and water resistant agent for water-in-silicone (W/S) or water-in-oil (W/O) systems since it thickens the external oil phase.
Allianz OPT polymer is the tetrapolymer emulsion polymerization product of methacrylic acid, methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate and cetyl-eicosinyl methacrylate.
