Identification & Functionality

Features & Benefits

Performance Highlights
  • RHEOSOL CVH(M) 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 CVH(M) does not require neutralization or heat, and activates simply by agitation in a cold formulation.
  • RHEOSOL CVH(M) aids suspension and stabilization of other co-ingredients. Low usage levels are required in many applications, due to its high thickening efficiency.
  • RHEOSOL CVH(M) can provide several benefits within personal care formulations. Its cationic chemistry has been designed to offer high efficiency thickening, plus substantivity to hair and skin, resulting in excellent conditioning performance.

Technical Details & Test Data

Versatility
  • RHEOSOL CVH(M) has been designed for use in the presence of cationic and non-ionic coingredients.
  • RHEOSOL CVH(M) allows cold mixing in aqueous systems, thereby increasing process speed and efficiency, and reducing energy costs in manufacture.
  • RHEOSOL CVH(M) allows cosmetic emulsion products to be produced simply, without the need to select specific emulsifiers through calculation of HLB.
  • RHEOSOL CVH(M) does not require neutralization or the addition of sodium chloride to achieve viscosity build.
  • RHEOSOL CVH(M) enables formulators to efficiently viscosify products over a wide pH range, and particularly at low ph.

Packaging & Availability

Packaging Information

RHEOSOL CVH(M) is available in 25kg, and 60kg drums.

Storage & Handling

Shelf Life
12 months
Storage and Handling

Do not allow to freeze, ideal storage temperature 5-35°C.
RHEOSOL CVH(M) 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.
