Ac.Net 100 ml

Getting the Right Viscosity in Alcohol-Based Formulas

Ac.Net is a specialized gelling agent developed specifically for thickening formulas with a high alcohol content, where conventional gelling agents often fail or lose their effectiveness. This is exactly why the product belongs to the Gelling Agents and Thickeners section, which brings together ingredients for building stable viscous structures in cosmetic and household products. The most widespread use of Ac.Net worldwide is in the production of hand sanitizing gels, disinfectant sprays, alcohol-based toners and cleansing lotions, since without a proper thickener these liquids remain too thin and impractical to apply. With Ac.Net, formulators achieve a pleasant gel texture that stays on the skin, spreads evenly and does not drip during application.

Beyond personal care, this ingredient is widely used in household chemical manufacturing, particularly for alcohol-based surface cleaning gels and scented sanitizing formulas for home and office use. Ac.Net works at room temperature and does not require heating, which simplifies the production process and reduces energy costs on larger production lines. The ingredient should be added during the mixing stage of the water-alcohol phase, under continuous stirring, gradually until the desired thickness is reached - the exact dosage is best determined experimentally depending on the alcohol concentration in the formula.

Ac.Net belongs to the category of cosmetic actives and is available in our wholesale cosmetic peptides selection for larger production needs. Similar options include the smaller Ac.Net, 5 ml pack or comparable items like PROCAPIL, 100 ml.

Ac.Net pairs well with emulsifiers such as Sorbitan Oleate when the formula includes oil components requiring additional stabilization. To improve sensory feel and add a silky finish on the skin, formulators often introduce silicone derivatives like Cosroma GY002, while broad-spectrum preservatives such as Oxetal VD 92 are used to protect the finished product from microbial contamination during storage. Combining these components results in a stable, well-balanced and pleasant-to-use final product.

The 100 ml packaging is well suited for home-based cosmetic making and small trial batches - this quantity is enough to test a formula, fine-tune the desired viscosity and confirm compatibility with other ingredients before scaling up production. Ac.Net should be stored in a tightly closed container, in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Combine the alcohol with distilled water in a clean container, then add glycerin and aloe vera extract for a softer skin feel. Gradually sprinkle in Ac.Net while stirring continuously and vigorously until it fully dissolves and the mixture turns into a smooth, uniform gel. Let the finished gel rest for about 15 minutes to stabilize its texture before transferring it into dispenser bottles.
