Performance Highlights

• RHEOSOL AVH can be added to personal care formulations at any stage of manufacture It is supplied as a low viscosity emulsion which allows easy incorporation without the need for the elaborate mixing facilities which other conventional wax-based products require.
• Furthermore RHEOSOL AVH does not require neutralization or heat, and activates simply by agitation.
• RHEOSOL AVH aids suspension and stabilization of other co-ingredients, and its high thickening efficiency, means that only low usage levels are required in many applications.

Technical Details & Test Data

Versatility

• RHEOSOL AVH has been designed for use in the presence of anionic and non-ionic coingredients.
• RHEOSOL AVH allows cold mixing in aqueous systems, thereby increasing process speed and efficiency, and reducing energy costs in manufacture.
• RHEOSOL AVH allows cosmetic emulsion products to be produced simply, without the need to select specific emulsifiers through calculation of HLB.
• RHEOSOL AVH does not require neutralization or the addition of sodium chloride to achieve viscosity build.

Packaging & Availability

Storage and Handling

Do not allow to freeze, ideal storage temperature 5-35°C. RHEOSOL AVH is an emulsion polymer dispersion. Settlement of the polymer can occur with time. This is not detrimental to the product, it properties, or its thickening efficiency performance. However it is advised as good practice, that the product be agitated prior to its use.
