Getting a Clear, Stable Gel Texture Without Complicated Chemistry
Hydroxan CH in a 100 ml package is a modern synthetic gelling agent created to quickly build clear, stable and pleasant textures in water-based and hydroalcoholic systems. This ingredient belongs to the category of Gelling Agents and Thickeners, which brings together components responsible for viscosity and stability of finished products across cosmetics, household chemistry and industrial manufacturing.
The most common use of Hydroxan CH is in hand sanitizing gels, cleansing gels for face and body, hair styling gels, and clear bases for color cosmetics. It is also widely applied in household chemistry, such as dishwashing gels and glass or bathroom cleaners, where transparency and a smooth, lump-free texture matter most. Industrial manufacturers appreciate this thickener for its ability to perform well in systems with a high alcohol content, which makes it particularly valuable for sanitizers and disinfecting gels produced at larger volumes.
One key advantage of Hydroxan CH is that it does not require pre-neutralization with alkali, unlike classic carbomer polymers, which simplifies the manufacturing process even for small test batches. The product pairs well with other thickeners from the catalog: for a dense creamy shampoo base, formulators often turn to VLT Thickener, while classic clear gels with rich viscosity respond well to Carbomer 934. When a fast cold-process thickening solution is needed without complex mixing steps, Polygel CA is a practical complementary option.
The recommended dosage of Hydroxan CH typically ranges from 1 to 5 percent of the total formula weight, depending on the desired thickness and the amount of active ingredients present. It is best introduced at the final stage of production, at room temperature or a slightly warm phase, after the main actives and fragrance have already been added. Mixing should be slow and even to avoid trapping air bubbles inside the finished texture.
Store Hydroxan CH in a tightly closed container, in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The 100 ml package size is convenient for home-based cosmetic formulation, recipe testing and small trial batches before scaling up to larger production runs.
