Dadmac-acrylic acid copolymer surfactant stabilization: HenkelRecent Research Landscape

Incompatibility between cationic polymers and anionic surfactants causes precipitation and turbidity in liquid formulations. Controlling the polymer-surfactant interaction through specific co-polymer ratios and surfactant selection maintains optical clarity and phase stability.

What technical problems is Henkel addressing in Dadmac-acrylic acid copolymer surfactant stabilization?

Unstable liquid detergent viscosity

(26)evidences

Concentrated liquid and flowable detergent formulations suffer from physical instability and sedimentation during storage. Preventing phase separation ensures product homogeneity and consistent dosing performance.

Suspended particle instability

(5)evidences

High surfactant concentrations and specific polymer architectures often trigger clouding or macroscopic phase separation. Maintaining structural homogeneity in low-water environments prevents product failure.
