ISP - STABILEZE QM polymer by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a rheology modifier. It is based on methylvinylether/maleic anhydride and delivers exceptional thickening, suspending and stabilizing capability in aqueous and non-aqueous systems, even at low use levels or low pH. It disperses easily in water and forms clear, aqueous gels. Its shear-thinning properties allow strong gels with quick break for processing, spreading and dispensing. Moreover, it formulates into clear products and is effective over wide pH range. It imparts exceptional skin feel and stability to emulsions. It can create sprayable polyelectrolyte matrix when formulated with linear, high molecular weight cationic or pseudocationic polymers. It is compatible with a wide range of ingredients including polyquaterniums and has limited compatibility with salts & some anionic surfactants.

PVP-VA W-735 by Ashland Specialty Chemical is a film former. It is produced by the free-radical polymerization of monomers in the ratio of 70/30 (VP/VA).
