INCI: Polyether-1
Product Categories: Emulsifier, Film Former, Humectant, ThickenerPURE-THIX 1442 is a nonionic hydrophobic modified polymer flake. It forms clear aqueous solutions and is designed especially for personal care formulations. It provides pseudoplastic flow behaviour by associative thickening with other formulation ingredients.
This product has very good salt tolerance to at least 4% in the formulation and does not require neutralization. This achieved viscosity is pH-independent in the range from pH 5.5 and higher. Surfactants can affect the viscosity of the formulations that are thickened with PURE-THIX 1442.
Features & Benefits of PURE-THIX 1442
- Forms crystal clear gels

- Compatible with cationic surfactants
- Does not require neutralization
- Viscosity is pH independent (pH 5.5 – 12)
- Can stabilize emulsions
- Multifunctional: emulsifier, film former, humectant as additional effects
- “Associative” thickening with hydrophobic pigments (including TiO2 and ZnO)
Applications
- Cream & Lotion
- Bath & Shower Gel: skin feel, transparent thickening
- Sunscreen Products: associative thickening
- Hair Care Products: conditioners and styling products
- Liquid Makeup
- Skin Care: emulsifying and elegant feel
- Decorative Cosmetics: associative thickening with pigment
Processing Instructions
PURE-THIX 1442 can be added to the water phase of the formulation or at the end of the formulation before cool down. The associative thickener polymer can be mixed into the water at room temperature, but heating up to 60°C speeds up the incorporation without significant loss of viscosity building properties. Moderate mixing is recommended to avoid air entrapment.
