SOLAGUM AX

SOLAGUM™ AX

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

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

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

Characteristics

Main properties of SOLAGUMTM AX are:

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

Performances

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

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

SOLAGUMTM 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

SOLAGUMTM 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 SOLAGUMTM 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 SOLAGUMTM AX has to be increased. In order to overcome this limitation, SOLAGUMTM AX can be used in synergistic combinations with other thickeners.

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.
