Questions & answers
Is Clearthix® S a cold process thickener?
Yes, it can be used cold or hot process. Both processes will give the same final product.
Is Clearthix® S able to suspend particles?
Clearthix® S does not have any suspending properties so will not suspend particles. This also means that Clearthix® can not be used as a thickener in emulsions as it will not suspend the oil droplets.
Can I use Clearthix® S to thicken my natural surfactant blend?
Clearthix® S can be a great option for thickening surfactant blends. Each surfactant blend will be different, so we recommend starting with a low level of Clearthix® S initially and then increasing the level if required.
How can I easily disperse Clearthix® S into water?
Clearthix® S can easily be dispersed into water phase alone while using a homogeniser. However, it can be made easier by either heating the water phase or pre-dispersing Clearthix® S into glycerine and then homogenising into the water phase.
