EDSOFT R42

EDSOFT R-42 is a cationic acrylamide-based thickening agent for acidic aqueous compositions, and in particular domestic detergents and laundry softeners. EDSOFT R-42 is a white creamy water-in-oil emulsion typically used at a concentration range between 0.1% and 5.0% in fabric softener or any acidic compositions.
