- Key Attributes
- iThick 6000 is a high molecular weight distearate of polyethyleneglycol that provides excellent properties of thickening to formulations based on surfactants agents.
- iThick 6000 is a differentiated thickener with excellent suavity. It can be used in many cosmetic formulations, such as shampoos for adults, for children, foam bath, liquid soaps, etc.
- iThick 6000 is a versatile product that can be used as the unique thickening agent or even associated to alkanolamides, etoxilated fatty alcohols, and betaines. Due to the ethylene oxide groups in its molecule.
- iThick 6000 acts improving the viscosity of surfactants usually used in soft formulations. Therefore, surfactants such as sorbitan monolaurate, sulfosuccinates, and betaines have its thickener profile improved.
- When associated to etoxilated fatty alcohols iThick 6000 shows a special synergy that allows that alkanol amides be partially or totally substituted.
- iThick 6000 should be added under agitation to the water of formulation – total or part of the water – at 70-80°C in cold processing.
- iThick 6000 must be previously dissolved before incorporate it to the formulation. It is better elaborate an aqueous solution at 10% and heat this solution until 70-80°C or iThick 6000 can be solubilized in the amide associated to an amphoteric, heating to 65-75°C. After this step, the cold processing can continue.
