High Viscosity,
Improved Emulsion Quality,
Low Viscosity,
Water Soluble
Features: Easy to use: Alcogum SL-827 is a low viscosity liquid thickener easy to incorporate in the soap phase of anionic emulsions. It should be added before addition of alkali. Alcogum SL-827 may be post added into emulsion, but in that case should be diluted 1-3 times in water to ensure good distribution.

High emulsion temperature stability: It provides more stable viscosity than with other commercial thickeners over a period of time when emulsions are stored at temperatures above 55°C

Higher viscosity: The product provides higher viscosity, allowing specifications to be met at the lowest residue content and preventing settlement during storage

Improved emulsion quality: The use of Alcogum SL-827 in the soap solution generally, results in smaller emulsion particle size and allows a reduction in emulsifier dosage

Easy to handle liquid thickeners for anionic emulsions with high temperature stability
