- Features and Benefits
- Cold-processable, requires no heat and short mixing time
- Easy-to-use liquid form
- Excellent thickener and provides enhanced clarity for low surfactant level formulations
- High oil-loaded body wash emulsions
- Low surfactant clear or pearlized bath gels, body washes and shampoos
- Mild, sulfate/amide-free shower gels, shampoos and facial cleansers
- Smooth, honey-like flow rheology
- Synergistic thickening with salt
- Cost effective alternative for PEG-150 Distearate
- Structurant for mild, sulfate-free and nonionic formulations
- Replaces amides in cleansing formulations
- Enhances pearlescent appearance
- Stabilizes insoluble ingredients (oils, emollients, EGDS)
- Stabilizes high oil-loaded body wash emulsions
- Advances Thickening Choice
Thicken and control the rheology of the most challenging surfactant cleansing systems such as mild, sulfate/amide-free shampoos and facial cleansers or very low surfactant content formulations for economy markets. A highly efficient hydrophobically modified alkali-swellable emulsion polymer (Hyper-HASE) designed for structuring most cleansing formulations containing anionic, nonionic and zwitterionic surfactants, Novethix L-10 polymer is also a cost effective improvement over nonionic thickeners, as it works synergistically with electrolytes and is an easy-to-use, cold-processable liquid.
