THICKENER is a 45% active liquid
thickener for aqueous surfactant systems. As an easier-to-use
liquid, LIQUID 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. LIQUID THICKENER requires no neutralization,
forms no nitrosamine byproducts, and often contributes to a
‘conditioned’ feel in rinse-off products. |

LIQUID
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 LIQUID THICKENER into the
oil phase and heating the mixture to a temperature above 50°C before
forming the emulsion.
