Types of Thickener

Cellulose modified thickener:
Modified cellulose thickeners are cellulose derivatives that have been chemically modified to increase the viscosity of liquids. These thickeners are widely used in various applications, especially in water-based systems, to significantly improve the thickness and flow properties of the liquid.

Organic thickener:
Organic thickeners are made from organic compounds and are used to increase the viscosity of liquids. These thickeners modify the flow and thickness of the liquid by interacting with the components within it, and are widely used in coatings, cosmetics, foods, and other applications.

Inorganic thickener:
Inorganic thickeners are made from inorganic compounds and are used to increase the viscosity of liquids. These thickeners enhance the viscosity and stability of liquids by forming stable three-dimensional networks through chemical or physical interactions with the components in the liquid.

Low molecular thickener:
Low molecular weight thickeners are thickeners with relatively small molecular weights, primarily used to increase the viscosity of liquids and improve their rheological properties.

Polymer thickener:
High molecular weight thickeners are composed of large molecular weight compounds, typically forming network structures within liquids, which significantly increase the viscosity and rheological properties.

High thixotropic thickener:
High thixotropic thickeners are a type of thickener that reduces viscosity under shear stress and quickly recovers to its original viscosity once the shear force is removed. This characteristic is known as thixotropy.

Architectural coating thickener:
Architectural coatings thickeners are additives specifically designed for use in architectural coatings, aimed at improving the viscosity and thixotropy of the coatings, thereby enhancing application performance and final finish quality.

Industrial coating thickener:
Industrial coatings thickeners are additives specifically formulated for industrial coatings, designed to enhance viscosity and rheological properties, ensuring excellent performance in demanding industrial environments.

Features of Thickener

●The thickener must be stable and compatible with the dyes and auxiliaries to be used.
●It should have certain physical and chemical properties such as viscosity, flow property, ability to wet and adhere.
●The thickener film should dry properly on the fabric to prevent bleeding of the color beyond the boundaries of the design (to ensure print sharpness).
●The thickener should not have affinity for the dyes and chemicals.
●Once the dye is transferred from the thickener films (during steaming), the removal of the thickener should be easy.

Application Scope of Thickener

Coatings

Enhances the flow and application of coatings, improving surface smoothness.

Cosmetics

Used in lotions, creams, and other cosmetics to improve texture and stability.

Food industry

Adjusts the consistency of foods like yogurt, jams, and soups.

Petroleum industry

Regulates the rheology of drilling fluids, enhancing performance in complex environments.

Tips for Using Thickener

●The technical data should provide clear guidelines on the recommended usage levels of the thickener.
●It should be available for different types of cosmetic formulations.
●This includes the minimum and maximum concentrations required.
●It helps to achieve the desired rheological properties and functional benefits.
●It should also specify specific instructions for incorporating the thickener into the formulation.
●This includes pre-dispersion or pH change.

Other Services of Thickener Suppliers

Handling:
The product can be directly added, under stirring, to the water dispersion. The quantity depends upon the target viscosity; suggested levels: 0,5-4%.

Packaging:
The product is supplied in plastic drums (120 kg).

Storing:
Provided that it is stored in tightly sealed containers and kept in a cool place. Long periods of storage at temperatures above 30°C may cause the product to separate. It may be restored to its original condition by thorough stirring.

FAQ

Q: How long is thickener good for?

A: Yes, you can mix thickeners in bulk as long as you keep the unused portion covered and refrigerated. The unused refrigerated portion may be kept for 2-3 days. Do not leave a thickened liquid at room temperature any longer than 3-4 hours.

Q: How should thickener be stored?

A: Check the thickener container for any instructions for storage of thickened fluids. Some (but not all) thickened fluids can be kept for 24 hours in a fridge, and it may be practical to keep them for use throughout the day. Label jugs of thickened fluid stored in a shared fridge.

Q: Is thickener healthy?

A: Thickeners are highly processed food additives derived from nature. They are found in many processed foods because they thicken, reducing the amount of fat needed. In the body, they can act as a dietary fibre, and May have some of the health benefits of that.

Q: What is the purpose of thickener?

A: The main function of natural food thickeners is to increase the viscosity of the system and reduce the separation speed of dispersed particles from water. The thickening mechanism of thickeners is related to hydrogen bonding, hydrophobicity, and electrostatic effects.

Q: What is the viscosity of thickener in the food industry?

A: Most food thickeners conform to the rheological properties of Newtonian liquids at polarized or lower concentrations, and are pseudoplastic at higher concentrations. As the food thickener increases, the viscosity of its solution also increases.

Q: Under what circumstances can thickener achieve gel properties?

A: When the concentration of the thickener reaches the critical concentration of gel, its aqueous solution is a viscous flowing liquid under warm conditions. However, when the temperature is lowered, the dispersion medium is completely contained in the polymer network structure, forming a non-flowing semi-solid substance, which is called a gel. In thickener gels, the bonding of thickener macromolecular bonds only forms a relaxed three-dimensional network structure.
