The optimal dosage of Sappi Valida - L 3% in a formulation depends on the required functionality, as well as the nature of the other ingredients in the formulation. Note that adding Valida L, 3% will not result in an immediate thickening effect. The primary functionality of Sappi Valida - L 3% is stabilization at low viscosity. A combination of Sappi Valida - L 3% and a thickener is recommended when a ‘gel-like’ system is required.
