- Neautralization
- Amphomer® HC polymer is carboxylated and must be neutralized with a suitable alkaline material for use in hair care formulae. Various neutralizers can be used to achieve a desired effect. The most common neutralizer used is AMP (2-amino-2-methyl-1- propanol). The suggested polymer neutralization level is 90-95%. Under these conditions,Amphomer® HC polymer will accept approximately 50% hydrocarbon in an ethanolic system. Alcoholic KOH can be used for neutralization when higher levels of hydrocarbon tolerance are needed. With KOH, attention should be paid to the formulation stability because of the strength of the base and the high pH of the system.
- The amount of base required to neutralize the carboxyl groups inAmphomer® HC polymer can be determined by the following relationship:
- Parts by Weight (g) of Base Required
W x A x N x E/1000
Where:
W = Parts by weight (grams) ofAmphomer® HC polymer used
A = Acidity of Amphomer HC polymer
E = Equivalent weight of base
N = % Neutralization required (decimal)
