Formulation without ALKONT® EL 3645
The product ALKONT® EL 3645 does not present skin irritability and sensitization or allergenicity, which allows for its use in soft formulations and for sensitive skin, such as children’s and intimate hygiene products. It also assists in the formation of rich, creamy foam when compared with other thickeners used in the market. Bubbles of smaller diameter, providing creaminess, are also observed. It is ideal for salt-free formulations.

Film
Mechanism of action ALKONT速 EL 3645 acts as an associative thickener, i.e. in liquid shampoos and liquid soaps, it binds to the formulation surfactants, increasing viscosity. In emulsions, the non-polar portion of the molecule binds both in the emulsified oil phase and in the micelles with the emulsifiers. This facilitates the obtaining of the emulsion, allowing for rapid increase in viscosity.
Emulsifler Consistency Agent Oily Phase
Mechanism of action the ingredient ALKONT速 EL 3645 as a consistency agent. The same model, without the oil phase, represents the action as a thickener.
Applications ALKONT速 EL 3645 was specially developed to increase viscosity in various categories of Personal Care products:
Clear shampoos
Intimate soap
Treatment shampoos (anti-dandruff and anti-residue)
Baby care products: shampoos and liquid soaps
Rinse-off hair products
Body and face creams
Liquid hand soaps, body washes and shower gels
