Function: Thickener, Emulsifier, Suspension Aid, Viscosity Modifier, Suspension Stabilizer, Emulsion Stabilizer, Stabilizer, Gelling Agent

CAS Number: 11138-66-2

Dosage Form: Lotions, Creams

Ingredient Origin: Plant Origin

VANZAN® NF is widely used as a rheology control agent for aqueous systems. It increases viscosity, helps to stabilize emulsions, and prevents the settling of solids in a wide variety of animal care applications. VANZAN NF is recommended for use in both acidic and alkaline systems and will retain nearly constant viscosity between pH 2 and pH 12. Mixtures of xanthan gum with water-swellable clays or certain galactomannans produce synergistic rheological effects. The mixtures will provide greater thickening, stabilizing and suspending properties than those developed by the individual components of the mixture.
