Styrene Acrylates Copolymer Opacifier Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer
Styrene acrylates copolymer is an aqueous polymer opacifier dispersion for personal-care, detergent and cleaning formulations in Malaysia. The milky white emulsion scatters light to give a clear surfactant base an opaque, creamy appearance, while remaining an aesthetic additive rather than a primary surfactant or thickener.
Commercial variants include opacity-focused and pearlescent or lustrous-effect grades, with options differentiated by surfactant compatibility, solids content, particle size and preservative system. Buyers should identify whether the formulation uses an anionic or amphoteric surfactant system and whether a preserved or preservative-free grade is required.
Typical applications include shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, facial cleansers, lotions, creams, liquid laundry detergent, dishwash and household cleaners. This polymer dispersion is distinct from mineral opacifiers such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, and from glycol distearate pearlising waxes.
Send the intended application, formulation system, required visual effect, specification, quantity and delivery location with the enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, delivery route and timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Styrene Acrylates Copolymer applications
Common questions about styrene acrylates copolymer
What is styrene acrylates copolymer used for?
It is an aesthetic opacifier and appearance modifier for products such as shampoo, body wash, hand soap, facial cleansers and liquid detergents. It is not the formulation's primary surfactant or thickener.
How should a styrene acrylates copolymer opacifier grade be selected?
State the required opacity or lustrous effect, the anionic or amphoteric surfactant system, and any solids or preservative-system requirement. These details allow the appropriate aqueous dispersion grade to be considered.
Is this polymer opacifier the same as a mineral opacifier or pearlising wax?
No. Titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and calcium carbonate are mineral materials, while glycol distearate is a separate pearlising wax. This page covers an aqueous styrene/acrylates copolymer dispersion.
Is styrene acrylates copolymer a titanium dioxide substitute for coatings?
This page covers a polymer opacifier for personal-care, detergent and cleaning formulations. It should not be specified as a titanium dioxide substitute for coatings duty.
What information is needed for a styrene acrylates copolymer quotation?
Send the application, required grade or visual effect, formulation system, specification, quantity and delivery location. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.
What packing and documents are available for this opacifier?
Include the required packing format and documents in the enquiry. Packing and documentation are confirmed for the selected grade with the quotation.
