Extraction
Sclerothix® is a 100% natural water thickener which makes transparent, rich, smooth gels suitable for a variety of uses including suspending particles and thickening some surfactant systems. It can be used on its own or as part of an emulsion or surfactant formula.
Origin
U.K.
Qualities
Sclerothix® can be used in either hot or cold water but dispersing in hot water will minimise trapped air, giving it an immediately smooth and transparent appearance. Manufacturer reccomends you heat the water to 75˚C and sprinkle on Sclerothix®, then mix using a homogeniser to fully hydrate the powder. To prevent lumps from forming and to speed up the process, pre-mix powder in a small amount of glycerin.
USE LEVELS / GUIDELINES FOR USE
Up to 2% in the water phase, disperse under high shear mixing
Use at room temperature or at temperatures up to 70ºC
Keep final formulation between pH 3 – 10
