Product Advantage
Excellent Thickening Performance: It can provide a viscosity of ≥20000 mPa·s in 5% aqueous solution (pH 7, 25°C), ensuring stable and efficient thickening for various water - based products, which is far superior to many ordinary thickeners.
Broad Applicability: Suitable for cosmetics, medicine, food, textile, plastic and other industries, serving as a thickener, emulsifier and lubricant, meeting diverse industrial needs.
Hair Care Benefits: When used in shampoos and lotions, it increases product viscosity, conditions hair, prevents dryness, and keeps hair smooth and soft, enhancing user experience.
Stabilizing and Additive Functions: Acts as a stabilizer for o/w emulsions and an additive for detergents, improving product stability and performance, and expanding its application scope.
Easy to Use and Store: Just dissolve in boiling water, adjust pH to 7 - 8 with NaOH. Packed in 20kg woven bags, it can be stored in a dry and ventilated place with a one - year shelf life, facilitating operation and storage.
