Two Solutions to Thicken Your Base Formulation
Seppic has two new products that will help thicken your surfactant base formulations, Solagum™ AX and SEPIMAX™ Zen. These are two multifunctional products that will help with thickening, emulsifying and stabilizing your formulation.
Solagum™ AX*
Acacia Senegal Gum & Xanthan Gum
Natural plant-based thickening polymer, easy to use – no neutralization needed – perfect to achieve bio-based products.
Properites of Solagum™ AX
Multifunctional: thickening, emulsifying and stabilizing
Ready-to-use: powder that dissolves in hot or cold water (or oil),
faster than xanthan gum
Wide pH range stability: 3-12
Excellent resistance to electrolytes
Forms clear aqueous gels
Good particle suspension power
Textures of fluid to medium consistencies
Compatible with solvents, surfactants, AHAs, H2O2
Green Labels & Biodegradability
Ecocert
Cosmos
NaTure
100% Natural Origin Content according to ISO 16128
Readily Biodegradable
SEPIMAX™ Zen*
Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6
Produced using a disruptive innovation patented by SEPPIC, SEPIMAX ZEN™ is a next-generation thickening, stabilizing and texturizing powder polymer. It has MAXimal resistance to electrolytes and can be used to formulater with greater creativity and peace of mind. Easy-to-use pre-neutralized powder polymer, in cold or hot processes. Extreme resistance to electrolytes and low and high pH. Able to create clear-transparent formulas and stable solid suspensions.
