Non-polymeric Hostagel® PH1 + various acids Amine Oxides –

thickeners Stable in NaOCl systems
Hostagel® LT – For “hard-to-
thicken” surfactant systems Hostagel CL –
Alternative thickening
of NaOCl systems
Hostagel® LT efficiently thickens a wide range of even “hard-to-thicken” Home Care surfactant formulations
from slightly acidic to slightly alkaline pH range
Hostagel® LT – Benefits
 Efficient thickener for challenging

surfactant systems
 No impact on foaming properties
 Applicable to broad formulation spectra
 No negative influence on cleaning performance
 Low viscous, transparent liquid
 Easy and convenient handling
 No melting necessary
 Cold processable
 Hostagel® LT is self-preserving
Hostagel® LT – Thickening mechanism of organic

viscosifiers
 VISCOSITY – GENERAL ASPECTS
 Temperature dependency: the higher, the lower the viscosity
 Influence of sheer stress: the more energy, the lower the viscosity
 pH value affects the surfactant charge due to (de)protonation
 Increase by Electrolytes: Reduction of head group repulsion ⇒ closer packaging to rod-like micelles
 THICKENING WITH HOSTAGEL® LT – COMBINING TWO MECHANISMS
 Hydrophobic thickener: Crosslinking of micelles – Multiple hydrophobic tails attach to different micelles
 Hydrophilic thickener: generation of rod-like micelles
