Application Suggestions

Before ordering, please pre-select the appropriate grade based on your end-use:

  • Thickener 6000DS (Powder): Recommended for water-based architectural coatings, water-based adhesives, water-based inks, and textile printing pastes. The powder form facilitates precise measurement and is suitable for formulations sensitive to moisture or requiring long-term storage.
  • Thickener 638 (Liquid): Recommended for latex paints, water-based industrial coatings, and water-based adhesives. The liquid form is easy to disperse, suitable for cold blending processes, and can reduce production energy consumption.
  • PEG-150 (Flakes/Granules): Recommended for personal care products such as shampoos, body washes, creams and lotions, as well as household detergents and textile lubricants.

Precautions

  • It is recommended to first request samples for formulation compatibility testing before finalizing the bulk procurement plan.
  • Storage temperature not exceeding 45°C, relative humidity below 70%, to avoid moisture absorption and caking.
  • The product is non-flammable, but accumulation of fine dust may form a combustible dust cloud. Keep away from open flames and heat sources during operation.
  • When ordering, consult with the sales representative regarding additional services such as technical support and formulation guidance.
