More information about Keltrol CG RD


  • Transparent solutions

  • Has pseudoplastic rheology profile (e.g. is shear thinning)

  • Shows relatively little viscosity change over a wide temperature range

  • Stable over a wide pH range

  • Compatible with high concentrations of salts and surfactants

  • Stable to high-shear processes

  • Exhibits delayed hydration relative to standard 80-mesh grades of xanthan gum due to its larger particle size

  • Can hydrate fully in hot or cold water, even in systems with minimal agitation

  • Contains little-to-no dust

  • Ideal for use in formulations where high clarity is desired

  • Enhances the stability of emulsions, suspensions and foams

  • Controls flow during and after application to the skin

  • Provides a light, silky skin-feel

  • Thins during processing, then quickly recovers its viscosity

  • Disperses in the aqueous phase of formulations without use of dispersants

  • Can be used in systems where high-shear mixing is not available or would damage the end product

  • Facilitates mixing and pumping during formulation preparation by delaying viscosity development, while still achieving full functionality prior to packaging

  • Reduces dust exposure, which minimizes industrial hygiene issues, slipping hazards, and improves general housekeeping

  • Kosher and Halal approved
