EXPERTGEL® EG312

1 of 2 products in this brand
EXPERTGEL® EG312 is an innovative water-thickening ingredient with unique properties. This water-soluble gelling agent exhibits a temperature-dependent increase in viscosity. When it is diluted in water, it remains a liquid at room temperature but transforms into a gel when exposed to higher temperatures. This distinctive rheological behavior gives rise to specific properties, including emulsion stabilization and active release control. This product is meticulously crafted for utilization in various applications, such as skin care formulations, sun care products, makeup, fragrances, and hair care items.

    Product Benefits
    • Smart Thickening agent: leading to viscosity change upon exposure to body temperature (eg: Eye Drops).
    • Sprayable products: liquid in the packaging will become a gel or a cream in contact with skin.
    • Cream or lotion with new texture: new sensation once applied.
    • Viscosity controller: ExpertGel addition leads to viscosity constant versus temperature.
    • Emulsion stabilizer: ExpertGel helps to improve emulsion stability.
    • Control active release in water: mouth rinse self-tanning.
    • Film former: with a silky touch acts in synergy to improve efficiency of other film former (eg: better water resistancy).
    • Homogeneous distribution of pigments: high coverage and reduces pigment use.
    • Long lasting effect for fragrances.
    • SPF booster: optimizing the bioavailability of UV filter.
