ELFACOS GT 282S

1 of 4 products in this brand
ELFACOS GT 282S enables formulators to create crystal clear gel and cleansing formulations in a wide pH range (2-12) in surfactants and water systems. It’s a unique Newtonian associative thickener with excellent thickening synergism with surfactants. It is also suitable for sulfate-free systems. ELFACOS GT 282S nonionic copolymer is a unique rheology modifier (polyalkylene glycol derivative) that enables crystal clear cleansing systems. As a unique Newtonian associative thickener, it exhibits excellent viscosity synergism with surfactants.
