Features & Benefits

- Product Charateristics
- NS MGel is a multi-functional, self-emulsifying gel created to convey multiple benefits primarily to emulsion systems.
- MGel is based on a combination of quaternized clays and silicone gels or hydrocarbon gels & emulsions.
- MGel is used to create stable water/oil-silicone emulsions because emulsifiers are an integral part of the polar activation system.
- MGel ingredients (components) meet the high standards required by the natural products market.
- Ns Mgels What Are They?
- NS MGels are emulsifier activated quaternized clays manufactured using non-mechanical milling which allows for a more efficient shearing of clays before activation.
- Once shearing is complete, activation is initiated using a conventional polar activator as well as a polymeric emulsifier.
- Emulsifier is a part of the gel network matrix, resulting in emulsification and stabilization simultaneously when used in an emulsion.
- Self-emulsifying and self thickening
- Low viscosity/thin W/O emulsions
- Very stable at elevated temperature
- Finished products do not experience phase transition
- Non-greasy
- Natural looking
- Silky, soft application
- Long wearing
- Cold process
- Short batch cycle time

- Directions
- Add Phase A to beaker, mix then homogenize to disperse.
- Mix Phase B in a beaker.
- Add Phase B to Phase A in five parts, homomixing to full incorporation after each part.
- Homomix for 5 minutes on medium speed.
- General Guidelines
- Decrease the surface tension of the water phase with a salt.
- Add the water phase in several parts, starting with the smallest amount first. Fully incorporate each part before adding the next.
- Add the preservative slowly, in parts, at the end.
