Throughout the years, we have accumulated a number of publications and patents that have helped shape the specialty chemical industry and cemented our place as one of the go-to companies for custom synthesis and problem consultation in the southeast US.
RheoThick™ Technology
RheoThick™ technology is based on the Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance (HLB) of a formulation and of the ingredients in the formulation. The suspension properties of RheoThick™ technology achieves its suspension properties by interacting with other surfactants present in a formulation. This interaction leads to the formation of either multilamellar structures or spherulitic structures within the product. These structures are similar to liposomes which provide improved stability and yield value even at high temperatures. RheoThick™ technology viscosity and rheology modifier provides viscosity and the desirable shear-thinning rheology properties in hair and skin care products, without sacrificing foam properties of the surfactant in cleansing products. It also adds lubricity and emolliency to the finished product allowing the formulator to reduce additional ingredients to achieve preferred aesthetics in the finished product. RheoThick™ technology viscosity and rheology modifier delivers a non-Newtonian liquid with shear-thinning properties, allowing finished products to be easily dispensed and smooth on application.
