beyond thickening
Thickener choices can not only impact formulation viscosity butsensorial aspects too. Multifunctional Benecel hydroxypropyl methylcellulose(HPMC) products are nature-derived rheology modifiers that enhance the sensoryexperience. Benecel HPMC is available in a wide range of grades to suit allyour thickening challenges.
Derived from cellulose, a natural, abundant and renewableresource, Benecel HPMC products are water-soluble, non-ionic polymers.Benecel HPMC products are efficient thickeners and film formers that enhancefoam production and foam stabilization in surfactant systems for improved foamquality that is longer lasting. Due to its non-ionic character, Benecel⢠iscompatible with most commonly used surfactants, enabling optical clarity in formulations.
