Pemulen™ TR-2 polymer by Lubrizol acts as an emulsifier. It is a high molecular weight, crosslinked copolymer of acrylic acid and a hydrophobic C10-30 alkyl acrylate co-monomer. It is a versatile, non-ethoxylated polymer designed to create stable and mild, water-resistant oil-in-water emulsions at low use levels. It can be used with Carbopol® polymers to provide greater thickening properties where higher viscosity emulsions are required. It is PEG-free and allows for cold or hot processing enabling flexible processing requirements. It offers enhanced sensory-light, refreshing and light residue. Pemulen™ TR-2 polymer is used in anti-aging formulas, body lotions/creams/gels, wipes and eye-, face-, hand-, foot- & sun care products.

Trulux is no longer stocking Pemulen TR-2. We will now be stocking Pemulen EZ-4U Polymeric Emulsifier. Please contact us for further information.
