About Sepiplus™ 400
"SEPIPLUS™ is a new generation of « Hydro Swelling Droplet » (HSD)
thickener-emulsifiers with performance superior to that of SEPIGEL™-SIMULGEL™
(also sold as GelMaker) range, to meet the needs of your most demanding
formulations.
Liquid and ready to use, SEPIPLUS™ has the unique
characteristic of combining:
- Excellent thickening properties
- With
remarkable emulsifying properties.
SEPIPLUS™ has greater thickening
capacity:
- in presence of electrolytes (NaCl, mineral water, phenyl
benzimidazole sulfonic acid, Dihydroxyacetone)
- over a wide pH range.
SEPIPLUS™ emulsifies all oil phases:
- whatever the nature of
oil
- up to 50% oil phase!
- without added emulsifier, independently of
the viscosity.
SEPIPLUS™ is the ideal thickener-emulsifier, effective at
low use level.
Like the HSD thickener-emulsifiers developed previously
(SEPIGEL™, SIMULGEL™) SEPIPLUS™ gives a supple texture to cosmetic formulas.
They leave a soft, non-tacky film on the skin. The sensory feature of SEPIPLUS™
is to develop an creamy and glide-on feel.
