Product Benefits

• Creates a true yield stress that provides reliable suspension of solids/actives with minimal impact on perceived viscosity
• Disperses easily into most personal care formulations under low mix energy and standard mixing methods
• High suspension and stabilization of insoluble ingredients enabling formulation versatility
• Provides formulation diversity: effective in surfactant-based formulations such as body wash, liquid foam, shampoos, as well as in emulsions
• Provides high clarity
• Ready to use - the product is fully activated; no pH adjustment or high shear mixing or heat is required
• Sustainable / eco-friendly: derived from a microbial fermentation production process
• Thickens over a broad pH range (pH 4.0-12.0), enabling potential applications with active ingredients at low or high pH
• Tolerant to a range of conditions, including temperature, surfactants, pH (low and high), and salt levels

Product Highlights

• Arbalon® R-50 cellulose liquid is a unique and highly functional form of pre-activated cellulose solution characterized by its ability to impart a true yield stress and suspend insoluble particles in personal care formulations while at the same time imparting a minimal negative impact on the final viscosity of the formulation.
• Arbalon® R-50 cellulose liquid is an eco-friendly alternative derived from microbial fermentation process. Arbalon® products are manufactured by CP Kelco U.S., INC.  Arbalon® is a trademark of CP Kelco and is used under lice
