Covacryl - a range of film formers and thickeners for all application areas.

Covacryl A15WP INCI Aqua & Acrylates Copolymer

Covacryl AD5 INCI Aqua & Acrylates Copolymer
Gives a slow drying film with good adhesion for eyelash coating. When rubbed during the drying process the film gently removes dead corneal cells. Salt compatible.

Covacryl E14WP INCI Aqua & Acrylates Copolymer
It forms a film that can fix pigments and powders to the skin and prevent rub off for long lasting make-up products. It has good water resistancy and when added to skin care and make-up products it lowers play time during application. Alcohol compatible.

Covacryl MS11WP INCI Aqua & Acrylates Copolymer

Covacryl RH INCI Sodium Polyacrylate
Produces clear water based gels and improves the stability of emulsions. It helps prevent water loss from water-in-powder emulsions.

Covacryl MV60 INCI Sodium Polyacrylate
A thickener that creates unique textures that range from "mousse" to "marshmallow" when used in aqueous systems. Combined with Unipure LC hydrophobic pigments it gives a mousse-like texture with a smooth, soft velvety feel. By encapsulating the water it imparts a long lasting fresh skin feel. The addition of 0.5 - 1.5% of Covacryl MV60 changes the texture of O/W skin care creams giving a fresh feel on application and leaves a non-sticky, matt, powdery film on the skin.

Covacryl MV40 INCI Sodium Polyacrylate
A new addition to the Covacryl range. Each small particle swells in water giving an exceptional powdery and smooth feeling. Whereas Covacryl MV60 gives gels with a matte finish, Covacryl MV40 gives a satin finish.

Covacryl MT10 INCI Acrylates/Ethylhexyl Acrylate Copolymer
Good water resistance and non-transfer properties, it provides a transparent, flexible and stretchable film.
