ISP - SURFATHIX-N polymer by Ashland acts as a rheology modifier and surfactant. It is an acrylate-based technology with unique hydrophobic properties which brings clarity, thickening and suspension performance of particles and beads to cleansing products. It is compatible with a variety of ingredients commonly used in rinse off formulations including various surfactants, salts, and cationics. SurfaThix™ N polymer offers improved foam density (creamy lather), smoother dry-feel in finished formulations and can be easily rinsed-off. In hair care products, it offers improved dry comb in silicone containing shampoo, smooth feel on wet hair and enhanced detangling. Suggested for use in body and hand washes, facial cleansers and shampoo formulations.

ULTRATHIX P-100 polymer thickener is a multi-functional rheology modifier. This thickener allows formulators to create quick-break textures due to its shear-thinning rheology and refreshing sensory perception. In skin care formulas, this thickener offers emulsion stabilization, reduces tack, and improves aethetics of hydroalcoholic sprays, and enhances skin feel properites. The unique ability of this thickener to supend pigments, especially titanium dioxide, makes it ideal to use in foundations, mascaras and other color and sunscreen applications to enhance stability and esthtetics.
