| Crothix Thickener is a 45% active liquid thickener for aqueous
surfactant systems. As an easier-to-use
liquid, Crothix
Thickener works especially well in
cold mix systems and provides formulators with the thickening
efficiency to create shampoos, body washes, shower gels and liquid
soaps or other soap based-products that are economical, as well as
rheologically appealing. Crothix
Thickener requires no
neutralization, forms no nitrosamine byproducts, and often
contributes to a ‘conditioned’ feel in rinse-off
products. |

Crothix Thickener can
be used to thicken products like shampoos, bath gels, or
liquid
soaps, simply by preheating the material to a temperature above 50°C
and
then adding it to the cold surfactant base with mixing. In
most instances, the resultant blend is clear, provided the pH is 5.0
or higher. However, it is best to check each individual formulation,
since some systems may become hazy if mixed this way. If desired,
formulations that are quite viscous can be heated and made easier to
stir. Emulsion-type products like body washes, conditioners and
lotions can be easily formulated by incorporating Crothix Thickener into the oil phase and
heating the mixture to a temperature above 50°C before forming the
emulsion.
