Product Highlights
  • Oilkemia™ 5S CC polymer is 30% solids in Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides. It is a multifunctional oil soluble rheology modifier designed to impart thickening with clarity and suspension in a broad spectrum of oils and oil mixtures such as vegetable-based oils, triglycerides, esters, and organic UV filters.
  • It allows the development of a wide variety of textures from thin non-dripping systems to lotions or thick creams, and even solid stick. In anhydrous and emulsion systems, Oilkemia™  5S CC polymer can improve the sensory experience by reducing the greasy afterfeel of the oils.
  • This rheology modifier is very efficient in medium and high polarity systems, with an average use level of 1.0 - 6.0 wt% as-supplied for low to high viscosity oil gels.
