WorléeAqua Thix 150 Rheology modifier and thickener for Personal Care Description WorléeAqua Thix 150 is a liquid acrylic dispersion designed to thicken, suspend and stabilize products containing low and high levels of surfactants or electrolytes. It is a cost-effective and easy to handle product with numerous benefits. The formulator can create sophisticated cleansing products with different textures ranging from clear formulations with suspended particles to pearlescent systems and oil-rich shower creams. INCI Appearance Viscosity Turbid Liquid < 100 mpas Solids (by weight) 31-33% ph as is 2.1-3.0 Key Features & Properties High thickening efficiency in surfactant systems Good suspension properties Stabilization of insolubles (silicone, oils) High clarity at ph > 6.0 Easy-to-use liquid form Suitable for cold process Works with active surfactant levels from 5-30% Synergistic thickening with salt Good compatibility with cationic polymers Applications Clear Body Washes with suspended beads Shower Creams with high oil content Pearlescent Body Washes and Shampoos Facial Cleansing Washes Conditioning Shampoos Liquid Hand Soaps Emulsions Formulating & Processing WorléeAqua Thix 150 is typical used at levels from 2-10% as supplied. The thickener works at active surfactant levels from 5-30%. The highest clarity the polymer is achieved between ph 6.0-9.0. Depending on the formulation and ingredients WorléeAqua Thix 150 is effective at ph 4.0-11.0. Where clarity is not required, the formulation can be adjusted below ph 6 after neutralization using an organic or inorganic base and then lowering the ph of the system with an acid. Yield value and suspension properties usually increase below ph 6. We recommend the following order of addition to ensure optimal efficiency. Add WorléeAqua Thix 150 to the deionised water Add primary surfactants Neutralize to ph > 6.0 Add remaining surfactants Add other ingredients If necessary decrease ph or add sodium chloride Compatibility WorléeAqua Thix 150 is compatible with typical surfactants, including, for example: Sodium Laureth Sulfate Sodium Lauryl Sulfate Ammonium Laureth Sulfate Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate Cocamidopropyl Betaine Lauryl Glucoside Disodium Cocoamphoacetate Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate Shelf Life Storage Packaging Minimum shelf life: 12 months Storage: store at a temperature of 5-30 C, away from direct light, in closed containers.

Tan δ of WorléeAqua Thix 150 is completely independent of SLES/CAPB ratio. All other products needs a higher use level to achieve a tan δ below 0.3. So WorléeAqua Thix 150 is most cost effective. WorléeAqua Thix 150 has the highest viscosity of all products with SLES/CAPB ratio of 10:2. For high betaine shower gels and a SLES/CAPB ratio of 7.2:4.8 WorléeAqua Thix 150 has the requested viscosity level. Polymer C is too viscous and obtain a undesirable stringy texture. The two other polymers need a higher use level or a co-thickener.
