Features & Benefits

Key Attributes
  • iGel 940 is a crosslinked polyacylate polymer with strong moisturizing ability, acting as high-efficient & low-dosage thickener and suspending agent.
  • It can be neutralized by alkali to form clear gel. Once its carboxyl group is neutralized, molecule chain expands extremely and viscidity comes up, due to mutually exclusion of negative charge.
  • It can enhance yield value and rheology of liquid substances, thus it is easy to get insoluble ingredients (granola, oil drop) suspended at low dosage.
  • It is widely used in O/W lotion and cream as favorable suspending agent.
Product Benifits
  • High-efficient thickening, suspending and stabilizing
  • ability at low dosage
  • Outstanding short flow (non-drip) property
  • High clarity
  • Resist temperature effect to viscosity
