Jaypol™ 213 polymer for Fabric Softeners

Jaypol™ 213 polymer for Fabric Softeners Overview Manufacturers may create the look, feel and aroma of luxurious liquid fabric softener with Jaypol™ 213 polymer. A cationic liquid dispersion, the polymer thickens when water is added In typical fabric softener formulations, manufacturers may “dial-in” rich, thick formulation viscosity with ease and efficiency Shear-thinning, the polymer offers good pour attributes and efficient delivery to the wash drum A cationic technology, Jaypol 213 polymer improves fragrance retention on clothing Adding viscosity to formulations, the polymer allows easy clean-up of equipment and dispensers

Jaypol™ 213 polymer for Fabric Softeners Overview A liquid polymer dispersion offers manufacturers a very efficient approach to luxurious formulation attributes. The polymer is compatible and effective in cationic and acidic systems No heating or neutralization is required May be used at low use levels (Between 0.5% and 1.0%) to achieve consumer-desirable viscosity and pour

Jaypol™ 213 polymer for Fabric Softeners Function When included at formulations between 0.5% and 1.0%, manufacturers have the ability to significantly improve the sensory properties of liquid fabric softener. Typical Properties: Appearance @ 25°C White liquid dispersion Pass Bulk viscosity cps (RVT, #3, 10 rpm @ 20°C) (FTB-TP003) >=200 - <=3000 pH of 2% solution @ 20°C (FTB-TB005) >=3.2 - <=4.8 Viscosity 2% solution cps (RVT, #6, 20 rpm @ 20°C) (FTB-TB078) >=25,000 - <=40,000 Dispersion test PASS equals <10 secs @ 500 rpm Pass Actives by acetone extraction % (FTB-TB009) >=59.0 - <=64.0 Salt tolerance cps (RVT, #6, 20 rpm @ 20°C) (TP007) >=10000

Jaypol™ 213 polymer for Fabric Softeners Efficacy tests Using dispersions of Jaypol 213 polymer above pH 2 and in concentrations above 0.5% affords a linear increase in viscosity. Linear viscosity response Low usage rate Precise viscosity control Fabric softener formulation with ester quat, final pH 2.3

Jaypol™ 213 polymer for Fabric Softeners Efficacy tests In tests with standard fabric softener, shear-thinning behavior is confirmed. Shear thinning Increased pourability Decreased residual material in delivery systems Fabric softener formulation with ester quat, final pH 2.3

Jaypol™ 213 polymer for Fabric Softeners Efficacy tests Adding the liquid dispersion polymer to water and standard fabric softener is both simple and efficient, as shown in this demonstration. (insert video)
