Structure® 3001 is an acrylic emulsion thickener designed for challenging formulations such as hair dyes, relaxers, permanent waving lotions, specialty gels, and depilatories. These associative, alkali-swellable polymers provide efficient thickening over a broad alkaline pH range and demonstrate stability in aggressive environments. Easy to incorporate into formulations, they create clear, shear-thinning gels upon neutralization.
