Cellulose ether has emulsifying, thickening, homogenizing, and colloidal protection properties in liquid emulsified products. In solid powder-based pastes, it functions to disperse, suspend, and stabilize. It is one of the best active additives in products such as synthetic detergents, shampoos, hair creams, skincare products, and soaps.
MikaZone is extensively employed in personal care products as a thickener, rheology modifier, emulsifier, and dispersing agent. MikaZone exhibits pseudoplastic and shear-thinning properties. Incorporating MikaZone into personal care formulations enhances not only the thickening effect but also the overall stability of the solutions.
MikaZone HEC (Hydroxyethyl Cellulose) and HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose) are extensively utilized in home care products as thickeners, rheology modifiers, emulsifiers, and dispersing agents. These compounds exhibit pseudoplastic and shear-thinning characteristics. When incorporated into home care formulations, MikaZone HEC and HPMC not only enhance the thickening properties but also significantly improve the stability of the solutions.
The cellulose ether added to toothpaste not only helps retain moisture in the toothpaste system and increases viscosity but also maintains the uniformity and flowability of the system. At the same time, this requires the cellulose ether to have high substitution uniformity, high purity (greater than 95%), and high viscosity (1000 mPa·s).
Transparency
Daily chemical emulsions have certain requirements for liquid clarity, with some needing a completely transparent appearance.
High-quality cellulose ether, after fully dissolving and stirring, should form a water solution that is nearly completely transparent with a certain viscosity.
Viscosity
Products like shampoos, household detergents, and personal care lotions all have certain viscosity requirements. High-quality cellulose ether can provide the appropriate viscosity for liquid emulsified products.
Moisture retention effect
Personal care products such as skincare products and lip balms have high requirements for water retention during use. The addition of high-quality cellulose ether can improve the water retention properties of emulsions by forming a moisturizing film on the skin’s surface, slowing down moisture loss.
Mikazone daily chemical grade solution was compared with competitor solutions in terms of transparency, viscosity, and other properties.
Through testing with professional laboratory equipment, the data shows that Mikazone outperforms the control solution in various performance metrics.
The Mikazone HPMC PS series is specially treated on the surface, making it highly suitable for personal care products that require high transparency, solubility, and flowability. It enhances the performance of various detergents and emulsions.
In personal care products such as shampoos, creams, and toothpaste, HEC can serve as a thickening agent to adjust the product’s viscosity, enhance its consistency, and maintain its form. At the same time, HEC is also an excellent moisturizer and emulsifier, helping to retain moisture in emulsions and ensuring better integration of oily and aqueous components.
Adding HEC to personal care products enhances viscosity, improves texture, stabilizes emulsions, and provides moisture retention, all while maintaining product clarity and performance.
