BENTONE GEL IPM V is a specially prepared Non-animal origin dispersion of a non-animal organically modified Rheological control Hectorite in Isopropyl Myristate activated with Propylene Carbonate. It provides thermostable viscosity control and improves application properties. BENTONE GEL IPM V can be added at any convenient stage during the manufacturing cycle. It is an alternative to traditional polymer or cellulose-based thickeners for stabilising emulsions. BENTONE GEL IPM V provides highly reproducible results for multi-site production requirements. It can contribute greatly to a formulation's stability by improving the compatibility of other ingredients. BENTONE GEL IPM V is suitable for providing rheological control and suspension to organic- and silicone-based formulations. It enhances skin-feel by masking greasy or tacky components and imparts a pleasant residual silkiness to the skin.
