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!
