  • Broad compatibility with various surfactant systems
  • Easy-to-use liquid form for lower processing costs
  • Effective over a wide pH range - 3.5 to 8.5 - and provides increased suspending, stabilizing and thickening benefits through "back-acid" formulating
  • Enhances pearlization appearance to improve the visual appeal of pearlizing additives in surfactant-based systems
  • Imparts effective thickening, desirable flow characteristics, and permits the formulation of high clarity systems of shampoos, body washes, and other cleansing products
  • Provides exceptional suspending and stabilizing properties in surfactant-based systems, even low viscosity formulations
