Sodium Acrylates Crosspolymer-2
Synthetic Polymer; Thickener; Film Former
Environmental Persistence | Crosslinked acrylic polymers are not readily biodegradable and may persist after use. Residual Monomers | Trace acrylic monomers may remain if manufacturing controls are inadequate. CIR has found related crosslinked acrylates safe when formulated to avoid irritation, but environmental persistence supports a cautious classification.
