A special grade of Cellulose ether(HPMC) is used in detergents to stabilize emulsions and suspended particles and is used for thickening and rheological modification of systems with high surfactant content. The thickener product is supplied in a low-viscosity liquid, easy to pour and pump. It is incredibly convenient for batch use and automatic metering devices.

High viscosity MikaZone™  detergent grade hydroxypropyl methylcellulose(HPMC) is very well suited to thicken washing up liquids as they normally form a clear solution, have a good level of compatibility with ionic tensides, and can easily be incorporated into the washing up liquid, due to their delayed solubility. Good storage stability will also be achieved.

When MikaZone™ detergent grade HPMC is used in detergent, its dosage should be determined according to the customer’s design. The recommended addition amount is 0.5%-4.0% of the total formula. It can also be used in conjunction with other types of thickeners according to different requirements to achieve the formulation design’s viscosity and rheological properties.
