Polygel W30, 1 kg

A Clear Water Gel That Bridges Home Fragrance, Decor and Cosmetic Formulation

Polygel W30 belongs to the Gelling Agents and Thickeners section, and this is exactly where formulators look for a reliable way to turn plain water into a dense, transparent gel without complicated processing steps. The 1 kg pack suits small-batch and studio-scale production, giving enough material to test a formula, run a pilot batch and move toward steady reordering before scaling up to bulk industrial volumes.

Worldwide, the single largest demand for water-based polymeric gels of this type comes from household chemistry, specifically gel air fresheners for homes, cars and commercial spaces. The polymer swells in hot water into a firm jelly-like mass that readily accepts fragrance oils, water-soluble dyes and preservatives, giving finished jar fresheners long-lasting scent release without spilling or clouding over time. The second major field is decorative gel products - candle-style jars, interior gel arrangements and displays that use the clear base as a setting for dried flowers, glitter and other decorative inserts. A third, smaller but steady segment is cosmetic gels: hair styling products, thick shower gels, and occasionally clear thickening of transparent bases where a firm gel texture is required, soap included as one of many niche uses.

Typical dosage for Polygel W30 runs between 2 and 5 percent of the water weight, depending on the desired firmness. The polymer is introduced while heating water to 85-90 degrees Celsius, sprinkled in slowly under constant stirring to prevent clumping. Once fully swollen, the gel is cooled to around 40-45 degrees before adding heat-sensitive ingredients such as fragrance, preservatives and dyes - this sequence protects volatile aromatics and keeps active additives from breaking down in hot water.

Polygel W30 pairs well with other thickeners from the same section when a formula calls for combined textures. For oil-based and anhydrous gel systems, Covasilic 15 5 g handles the fatty phase while polygel manages the water phase within the same product. For a softer, silkier feel in shampoos and liquid detergents, Antal Light 50 g is worth considering either on its own or as a complement. Formulators looking for a naturally derived alternative to synthetic polymers often turn to AMIGEL 100 g, a plant-based polysaccharide thickener frequently used alongside polygel in cosmetic emulsions.

Store Polygel W30 in a dry area with moderate humidity, in tightly sealed packaging, since early contact with moisture triggers premature swelling and reduces its effectiveness. Under proper storage conditions the shelf life generally exceeds two years, which is convenient for maintaining stock during regular production runs.

Polygel W30 35 g

Glycerin 15 ml

Fragrance oil 20 ml

Heat the water to 90 degrees Celsius and sprinkle the polygel in slowly while stirring continuously, keeping the mixture on low heat until it swells into a smooth, lump-free gel. Remove from heat and let it cool to 40-45 degrees before blending in the glycerin, fragrance oil, dye and preservative one at a time, stirring thoroughly after each addition. Pour the finished gel into clear glass jars, allow it to set at room temperature for several hours, and seal with lids once fully firm.
