SOLAGUM™ AX

Co-granulation of natural thickening polymers to achieve low to medium viscosity in water-based and hybrid systems

SOLAGUM^TM AX is a co-granulated blend of 2 natural polymers: acacia gum and xanthan gum.

SOLAGUM^TM AX acts as a thickener & emulsifier to reach viscosities up to 10,000 MPa.s.

Characteristics

Main properties of SOLAGUM^TM AX are:

Easy to use product in powder form
Wide pH compatibility (3-12)
No heating neutralizing & maturing phases required
Natural raw materials

Performances

SOLAGUM^TM AX can be used at room temperature and does not require high shear to be activated.

SOLAGUM^TM AX can be used in synergistic combinations with other thickeners (guar gum, vinyl polymers…).

SOLAGUM^TM AX can stabilize solutions containing monopropylene glycol or glycerin (up to 50%). Gels are stable and perfectly homogeneous in appearance.

Compatibility

1-Compatibility with surfactants

SOLAGUM^TM AX is compatible with non-ionic, anionic and amphoteric surfactants. It is not compatible with cationic surfactants.

2-Compatibility with electrolytes

Electrolytes decrease the thickening effect of SOLAGUM^TM AX. Therefore, they should be added at the end of the process to adjust viscosity as desired. To formulate gels with large quantities of electrolytes the concentration of SOLAGUM^TM AX has to be increased. In order to overcome this limitation, SOLAGUM^TM AX can be used in synergistic combinations with other thickeners.

Previous product

SOLAGUM™

The SOLAGUM™ range is a family of anionic polymers with outstanding emulsifying properties that only require stir-in for instant thickening at room temperature.
SOLAGUM™ are polymers based on HSD (Hydro Swelling Droplets); they invert and swell when added to water or an appropriate blend of solvents.
