In the world of liquid cleansing products (shower gel, shampoo, hand soap, laundry detergent, dish soap), two things determine success: viscosity and stability – especially in winter.
However, a common headache formulators face is “low-temperature gelation.” Traditional thickeners (like some acrylic polymers or cellulose) work fine at room temperature but turn the product into a thick, non-flowing jelly when temperatures drop to 0°C–5°C. The result? Consumers can’t squeeze the bottle in winter – and they blame the brand, not the weather.
Introducing XT30: The Low-Temperature Flowability Solution
XT30 is a specialized thickener designed to solve this exact problem. It provides excellent thickening performance at room temperature while maintaining good liquid fluidity in cold environments. Your product will not “freeze into a gel” when winter comes.
Why Formulators Choose XT30 – 5 Key Benefits
1. Works Perfectly in Low-Surfactant & Mild Systems
Gentle, low-irritation formulas (e.g., amino acid-based washes) are booming. But their low surfactant content makes them more prone to abnormal thickening or gelation at low temperatures. XT30 effectively prevents this “cold jelly phenomenon” in such challenging systems, significantly improving formula stability.
2. Prevents Low-Temperature “Jelly” – Keeps Products Flowing
While ordinary thickeners sacrifice cold fluidity for room-temperature viscosity, XT30 delivers both. At 0°C–5°C, your product remains a free-flowing liquid – easy to pump, squeeze, and use.
3. Excellent Compatibility with Other Hydrophilic Thickeners
XT30 can be blended with other thickeners (e.g., Xanthan gum, HPMC, or carbomers). This synergy offers:
-
Enhanced overall system stability
-
More flexible rheology adjustment
-
Improved product texture and layering
-
Better cold-temperature adaptability
4. Supports Cold-Process Mixing – Saves Energy & Cost
Many traditional thickening systems require heating (≥60°C) to dissolve. XT30 is cold-process soluble. This means for OEM factories and formulators:
-
Lower energy consumption
-
Shortened production time
-
Higher throughput efficiency
-
Reduced manufacturing costs
For large batches, the savings go beyond electricity – they improve overall production efficiency.
5. Wide Application Range
XT30 is suitable for various liquid washing systems, including:
-
Shower gel / Body wash
-
Shampoo (including sulfate-free)
-
Hand soap
-
Laundry detergent
-
Dishwashing liquid
It’s especially ideal for products that need both viscosity and low-temperature stability.
Recommended Dosage
Add 1.0% – 5.0% of total formula weight, adjusting based on your specific system’s needs.
