- Key Attributes
- iGel 100 is an excellent rheology modifier, alkali-swell able anionic acrylic polymer emulsion, lightly crosslinked.
- It provides the convenience of a liquid while delivering unique benefits to surfactant-based cleansing products.
- It is designed to impart efficient suspending and stabilizing, as well as thickening properties in a formulation which contains high level of surfactants.
- It is able to produce very clear formulations containing high level of surfactants.
- It works synergistically with surfactants and salt resulting in efficient suspending, stabilizing, and thickening property.
- It allows for suspending, stabilization, and thickening of low pH systems, insoluble and difficult-to-stabilize ingredients such as silicones can be co-emulsified and stabilized.
- It also has the remarkable ability to enhance the pearlescent appearance of surfactant formulations. It can be widely used in personal cleansing products.
- Product Benifits
- Non associating rheology modifier
- Excellent at suspending silicone, zinc pyrithione, powder and other insoluble ingredient in shampoo.
- Provides stabilizing, thickening and co-emulsifying functions.
- Applicable for transparent system.
- Works synergistically with surfactants and salt
- Enhance the visual impact of pearlizing additives and improve the stability dramatically.

- Formulation Guidelines
- The minimum recommended dosage of iGel 100 in surfactant based products is 5.0% as supplied (1.5% active).
- The dosage depends on the amount of surfactant and salt for additional thickening. If the formulation hasn’t salt or has low surfactant actives, typical dosage is 8-10% as supplied (2.4-3.0% active).
- In most situations, iGel 100 can be added to the free water of a formulation with gentle mixing at the start of the batching process. At this point, the pH will be about 3, resulting in very low viscosity. Upon addition of a base, the polymer will be neutralized, resulting in immediate increase in suspending properties and viscosity.
