Celopro® Chemical Solutions for Home Care
Hydroxypropyl methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is a non-ionic thickener. There are different types of it. Different types have different viscosities and can also improve fluids. It can be used in detergents, shampoos, shower gels, facial cleansers, and can also be used to thicken emulsified systems.
Advantages of using it in detergents:
- As a non-ionic thickener, the viscosity of the thickened surfactant system is relatively stable with temperature changes, and it will not be as cold-resistant and easy to jelly as adding NaCl.
- It has good moisturizing effect. Its ability to retain moisture also contributes to the product’s overall performance, particularly in maintaining the effectiveness of active cleaning agents.
- Improve the fluid of the system, have a brushed feel, and make the cleaning effect smoother, improve the skin feel, and improve the dry and wet combing properties of hair.
- The thickening property helps the liquid cling to surfaces, improving its cleaning effectiveness by allowing it to penetrate and lift dirt more effectively.
