VERSATHIX™ – Rheology Versatility

VERSATHIX is a versatile rheology modifier that is suitable for use in a variety ofsurfactant systems, including sulfate-free systems, that can be more challenging forthe formulator to thicken. It provides efficient viscosity building and thickeningcapabilities coupled with shear thinning. VERSATHIX enables formulators to easilycontrol their formulation’s rheology properties, which are essential to satisfyingconsumer expectations about product behavior.

Major benefits:

Superior shear thinning behaviorOutstanding thickening efficiency, even in sulfate-free systemsCold processingLow pH stabilitySalt tolerance

Unique features:

Outperforms many commercial thickenersExcellent for clear systemsNeutral effect on foam & feel properties

Comparative Rheology & Shear Thinning BehaviorAs a superior rheology modifier, VERSATHIX is able to deliver an additional benefitover other thickeners. The chart below shows how thickeners perform in one of ourtested sulfate free bases (Croda Green) in response to increased shear. VERSATHIXconsistently exhibits impressive shear thinning behavior in this base and also traditional systems (ALES & SLES).

Rheology is important in formulations because it contributes to features such as viscosity, sedimentation stability, thermal stabilityand flow behavior under shear. Many thickeners can help to deliver most of these benefits, however it is more difficult to achievethe shear thinning behavior that enables a rich, thick product in a bottle that flows easily and spreads nicely during use. Incomparing the shear thinning properties of various thickeners, it is important to note the curves of the viscosity lines in response tothe increased shear rate.
