Hi, How are you?
Today we would like to introduce HECTOGEL MILD series which are Hectorite-based oil thickeners with less skin irritation.
HECTOGEL MILD series products are Hectorite based oil thickeners. Hectorite Gels have been extensively researched during development by Sunjin.
HECTOGEL is produced by milling Hectorite powder together with Oil, and Activator using high shear equipment. In this process, HECTOGEL forms thixotropic gels by developing hydrogen bond bridges between the edges of adjacent platelets.
Propylene Carbonate, the most commonly used activator for HECTOGEL, is an ingredient that can cause skin irritation.
In order to reduce skin irritation, Sunjin developed HECTOGEL MILD Series using 2,3-Butanediol instead of Propylene Carbonate as the Activator. There are 3 types of HECTOGEL MILD series with different kind of oils. You can choose one based on your formulation.
If you have any inquiries, feel free to contact us.
