It is a self-wetting rheology modifier designed to impart moderate-to-high viscosity as well as stabilising and suspending properties. - [Acrypol ET-1](https://harke.co.uk/product/acrypol-et-1-2/) - Liquid rheology modifier, designed to suspend, stabilize, thicken and enhance the appearance of a surfactant based systems. High yield value for suspending beads and mica pearl powders. Very useful where surfactant level is high. Cost effective and easy to use polymer. - [Acrypol ET-2020](https://harke.co.uk/product/acrypol-et-2020-2/) - Fast wetting grade and designed to make dispersions in water, less susceptible to lump formulation and easier to pump due to its low dispersion viscosity before neutralization. Used as thickener for both emulsion based products and surfactant based formulations. - [Acrypol TR-2](https://harke.co.uk/product/acrypol-tr-2-2/) - Acrypol TR-2 is a polymeric emulsifier which can help stabilise oil-in-water emulsions with an oil content of up to 60% that is independent of HLB values. It can tolerate shear thinning processes and efficient at low inclusion levels providing a slightly lower level of viscosity making it ideal for spray emulsions. - [Tomadol 1-3](https://harke.co.uk/product/tomadol-1-3/) - [Tomadol 1-5](https://harke.co.uk/product/tomadol-1-5/) - [Tomadol 173B](https://harke.co.uk/product/tomadol-173b/) - [Tomadol 25-3](https://harke.co.uk/product/tomadol-25-3/) - [Tomadol 25-9](https://harke.co.uk/product/tomadol-25-9/) - [Tomadol 900](https://harke.co.uk/product/tomadol-900/) - [Add Bright](https://harke.co.uk/product/add-bright/) - [Add Corin](https://harke.co.uk/product/add-corin/) - [Add Corin BT 50 Liquid 50%](https://harke.co.uk/product/add-corin-bt-50-liquid-50/) - [Add Corin TT100](https://harke.co.uk/product/add-corin-tt100/) - [Add Fix](https://harke.co.uk/product/add-fix/) - [Add Flame](https://harke.co.uk/product/add-flame/) - [Add Repel](https://harke.co.uk/product/add-repel/) - [Aqua-Sol ARD](https://harke.co.uk/product/aqua-sol-ard/) - [Fragrances](https://harke.co.uk/product/fragrances-2/) - If you’re looking for natural fragrances, synthetic fragrances or aromatic extracts, you’ll find hundreds in the range of high performance scents from Carrubba.
