- Desired viscosity for pour and dispensing properties
- Application (e.g., spreadability) of product
- Impart vertical surface cling to enhance product efficacy (e.g., for cleaning, disinfection, etc)
- Function to stabilize dispersions
- Linear build of viscosity as a function of Sifloc - D concentration for ease of manufacturing processes
- Fabric Rinse Conditioners
Benefits of Using Sifloc - D in a Rinse Conditioner:
- Versatility of use in dilute to ultra conditioners with major types of softener actives
- Effectively builds desired viscosity and flow properties
- Non-associative rheology modifier that is shear tolerant for benefits in manufacturing and packaging processes of rinse conditioners
- Stabilizes dilute and concentrated rinse conditioners for long-term product stability, especially ester quat-based rinse conditioners, which are subject to hydrolysis
- Enhances stability of fragrance emulsion in the conditioner
- Potential for post addition of Sifloc - D for simplification of manufacturing of rinse conditioners of varying viscosities
Dilute Ester Quat Fabric Rinse Conditioner:
Dilute DHTDMAC Fabric Rinse Conditioner:
Long-term Stability of Fabric Rinse Conditioners:
Fabric rinse conditioners based on ester quat typically suffer from hydrolysis of the quat to fatty acid and amine
- Over time the fatty acid builds up and causes the product to thicken and eventually to solidify
- Higher temperatures increase hydrolysis rate
Thus, storage and transportation conditions will affect long-term stability.
Effect of High Shear on Dilute Fabric Softeners:
- Fabric rinse conditioner with Sifloc - D is not adversely affected by shear.
- 3% actives, rinse conditioner (Armosoft® DEQ)
Storage Stability of Post Modified Ultra Rinse Conditioner:
- 16% active ester quat dispersion thinned with calcium chloride. Initial viscosity of 102 mPa.s
- Viscosity then adjusted with 0.2% Sifloc - D
- Excellent stability of ultra fabric rinse conditioner containing Sifloc - D
- Rheology Modifiers
- Highly efficient cationic rheology modifiers for aqueous-based consumer or professional HI&I products
- Compatible with typical HI&I ingredients
- Impart visual appeal to end product through rheology
- Transparent or opaque product esthetics that enhance consumer perception of product performance
- Improve product efficacy
- Provide desired application properties to end product
- Stabilize dispersions and emulsions
- Ease of use
- Viscosity Performance
