FAQs of Thickener Agent:
Q: How do I incorporate the thickener agent into my manufacturing process?
A: Add the thickener agent directly to your formulation during blending. It disperses easily in both water and solvent-based systems, typically requiring a recommended dosage of 0.2%%-0.5%% by weight. For best results, ensure gradual addition while stirring to achieve uniform consistency.
Q: What applications is this thickener agent suitable for?
A: This product is ideal for textile printing, paint industry, inks, adhesives, detergents, paper, ceramics, cosmetics, and certain food industry uses. Its high viscosity and compatibility with diverse systems make it an excellent additive across a wide spectrum of industrial formulations.
Q: When should this thickener be used in the production process?
A: The thickener agent should be added during the mixing or blending stage, after combining primary liquid ingredients. This ensures even distribution and optimal thickening properties within your formulation.
Q: Where should the thickener agent be stored to maintain quality?
A: Store the thickener agent in a cool, dry place inside a sealed container. Proper storage preserves its white powder appearance, odourless quality, and maintains its efficacy throughout its 12-month shelf life.
Q: What are the benefits of using this thickener agent in formulations?
A: Using this thickener agent provides excellent viscosity, improved texture, reliable stability in pH 5-10, and good oil resistance. Its eco-friendly, non-toxic, and biodegradable nature supports safer production and end-use, and its easy dispersibility streamlines manufacturing.
Q: Is the thickener agent safe for use in applications with direct consumer contact?
A: Yes, this thickener agent is non-toxic, eco-friendly, and contains minimal heavy metals, making it safe for industrial products involving direct consumer interaction, such as cosmetics, textiles, and certain food applications when appropriately formulated.
