Atopol range is a synthetic high molecular weight cross linked water soluble polymer of Acrylic acid, which is known as “Carbomer”/ “Acrylates polymers”. It is widely used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical and household industries. It is available in powder and liquid form, which is soluble in water, alcohols and glycols. Before neutralization, pH of Atopol grade solution lies between 2.5 and 3.0.
To produce wide range of viscosity and flow property.
Suspending of insoluble ingredients like cosmetic beads.
To provide emulsification and stabilization of high content of oils and waxes.
Allows controlled drug release in solid dosage form in less concentration.
Each grade is engineered for a specific viscosity profile, dispersion speed, and application. Talk to our technical team to find the right fit for your formulation.

Atopol® delivers high viscosity at remarkably low use concentrations, giving formulators a cost-effective, powerful thickening solution without the need for excessive dosing.
Unlike natural gums, whose viscosity and consistency can vary from batch to batch, Atopol® provides dependable, uniform thickening performance every single time — formulation after formulation.
Atopol® polymers are largely unaffected by temperature fluctuations, so viscosity and performance remain stable whether your process runs hot or cold.
With an excellent shelf life, Atopol® maintains its rheological performance over extended storage periods — giving finished products a longer, more reliable lifespan on the shelf.
Atopol® naturally resists bacterial attack and does not support mould growth, adding an extra layer of protection and confidence to every formulation it's used in.
Primarily used in aqueous systems after neutralization, Atopol® is equally at home in solvent-based systems, with or without neutralization, making it adaptable across a wide range of formulation types.
Beyond performance, Atopol® brings a smooth, luxurious sensory feel to the finished product, the kind of end-use elegance that formulators and consumers notice immediately.

Ideal for a wide range of applications, offering excellent thickening and suspending properties.
A specialized product formulated without benzene, ensuring a safer alternative for sensitive applications.
A versatile polymer used in various formulations, providing superior texture and stability.
Atopol polymers are dry, highly coiled acidic molecules. After dispersion in water, they begin to hydrate and partially uncoil. Maximum thickening can be achieved by converting the acidic Atopol polymer to a salt. It is easily achieved by neutralizing the Atopol range with common bases such as Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), Potassium hydroxide (KOH), Tri-ethanolamine (TEA), Ammonia (28%), Diisopropanolamine, Aminomethyl Propanol (AMP), Triisopropanolamine (TIPA), Ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH), Arginine etc. It is preferable to add strong bases previously diluted with water at a concentration not more than 10.0–20.0% w/w.
Atopol range is a high molecular weight polymer. It cannot be absorbed by the body, thus it is totally safe for human consumption. Tests for toxicological tolerance show that it does not have any pronounced physiological action and is non-toxic.
Atopol range is highly hygroscopic in supplied form, it contains maximum of 2.0% moisture. When exposed to open air at room temperature and 50% relative humidity, its equilibrium moisture uptake is 8.0%.
Atopol polymers must be stored in a tightly closed container and away from direct contact with water and excessive humid conditions.
Atopol polymer's efficiency will not get affected up to two hours at temperatures below 104°C. When exposed to excessive temperatures, it can be plasticized and lose its characteristics.
Based on our testing, dry Atopol polymers should last for years if stored properly and protected from moisture and extreme temperature.
