Crothix

Foam stabilizer…DEA replacement…Counter-irritant and STILL a benchmark in thickening! CROTHIX is the multi-functional additive worth keeping close at hand for virtually all of your formulation projects.

Did you know that CROTHIX is also available as a liquid?  Crothix Liquid actually adds an extra consumer benefit in products like personal cleansers or body washes: an emollient after-feel on the skin.  Of course, Crothix Liquid is easy to handle and enables more formulations to be processed cold, creating a cost savings.

It’s easy to see that Crothix Liquid is not just a diluted version of our original Crothix (pastille form).  In fact, its thickening efficiency rivals the latest thickeners on the market.

The chart below depicts thickening performance using 0.25% and 0.50% active thickener in a surfactant solution system comprising (as is) 42% SLES-2 and 13.3% cocamidopropyl betaine in water.

The graph below compares Crothix Liquid with a “newcomer” in thickeners.  Here, the surfactant system is comprised of 25% ALS, 12% ALES, 3% Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine and water.

 

CROTHIX and CROTHIX LIQUID remain the industry thickening standards…and the only ones with multi-functionality!
