Hydrolyzed proteins typically contain salts and their use with Aristoflex® AVC may result in loss of viscosity. Use in products intended to have a pH lower than pH 4.0 may lead to acidic cleavage of the polymer on prolonged storage resulting in viscosity loss. As Aristoflex® AVC is an ammonium salt, pH higher than 9.0 will release ammonia Please see Technical Tips for Formulating with Aristoflex® AVC (click on SDS & Tech Data tab above) for more information on working with Aristoflex® AVC.
