Applications
NATEROL DS150 is mainly used as thixotropic thickener to eliminate or reduce other thickeners such as electrolytes and alkanolamides. NATEROL DS150 is indicated in low active formulations and in combination with mild surfactants which do not thicken in presence of electrolytes. NATEROL DS150 has a conditioning effect in shampoos and does not reduce the intensity and duration of foam. It is also used as emulsifier, stabilizer, and softener in liquid hand soaps, lotions and shaving creams.
