Features & Benefits
- Performance Highlights
- RHEOSOL CVC can be added to personal care formulations at any stage of manufacture.
- This is because, as supplied, its viscosity is low. This allows easy incorporation without the need for the elaborate mixing facilities which other conventional wax based products require.
- RHEOSOL CVC does not require neutralization or heat and activates simply by agitation in a cold formulation.
- RHEOSOL CVC has multifunctional attributes within personal care formulations. Its cationic chemistry is designed to offer high efficiency thickening performance plus substantively to hair and skin care resulting in excellent conditioning performance.
- RHEOSOL CVC aids suspension and stabilization of other co-ingredients, and its high thickening efficiency, means that only low usage levels are required in many applications.
- RHEOSOL CVC does not require neutralization or the addition of sodium chloride to achieve viscosity build.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Versatility
- RHEOSOL CVC has been designed for use in the presence of cationic and non-ionic coingredients also in a selective range of cationic materials.
- RHEOSOL CVC allows cold mixing in aqueous systems, thereby increasing process speed and efficiency, and reducing energy costs in manufacture.
- RHEOSOL CVC allows cosmetic emulsion products to be produced simply, without the need to select specific emulsifiers through calculation of HLB.
- RHEOSOL CVC enables formulators to viscosify products efficiently over a wide pH range, particularly the acidic range.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Information
RHEOSOL CVC is available in 30kg and 60kg drums.
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 12 months
- Storage and Handling
Do not allow to freeze, ideal storage temperature 5-35°C.
RHEOSOL CVC is an emulsion polymer dispersion. Settlement of the polymer can occur with time. This is not detrimental to the product, its properties, or its thickening efficiency performance.
