BENTONE HYDROCLAY™ 2100 additive is a highly beneficiated, easily dispersible powdered smectite clay. It imparts thixotropic viscosity to the water phase of cosmetics. It is particularly effective as a means of improving suspension control without unduly increasing viscosity.
Key Properties:- Vegan
- Is easily processed as a powder or pre-gel
- Increases the viscosity of the aqueous phase and stabilises viscosity on ageing, at varying temperatures and under different shear conditions
- Imparts thermostable thixotropy/pseudoplasticity
- Provides excellent suspension control
- Reduces phase separation and syneresis
- Is non-abrasive and imparts smooth silky feel to cosmetics and personal care products
