Description
JAGUAR HP-105 SGI is a high molecular weight hydroxypropyl (0.6 DS) guar. This nonionic thickening agent is effective at low concentrations for transparent formulations and is compatible with cationic surfactants. It has good compatibility with electrolytes and stability over a large range of pH. This product enables the formulation of hydroalcoholic gels offering a unique “fluid” smooth feel. JAGUAR HP-105 allows the formulation of transparent gel products which can be pumped/sprayed. Helps stabilize emulsions.
Solvay’s proprietary Jaguar line of modified natural polymers are an evolving line of powdered natural derivatives covering functions as diverse as hair conditioning, active delivery, formulation thickening, and skin feel.
