| Description: Rhodicare® CFT is Cellulase-free clear grade of Xanthan Gum, it is recommended when associated with cellulose-based polymers. Approved for Ecocert. It is excellent anionic bio-polymer viscosity modifier and stabilizer and in conjunction with nonionic guars exhibits excellent suspending properties. C.T.F.A. /I.N.C.I. Name: XANTHAN GUM CAS: 11138 - 66 – 2 EINECS: 234 - 394 Recommended use level : 0.2 - 1%. Soluble in water Compatible with Non-ionic, anionic and amphoteric surfactants. Available in: Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America and North America Applications: Sodium salt of an anionic high molecular weight hetero-polysaccharide produced by pure culture fermentation of Xanthomonas campestris, purified by recovery with isopropanol, dried and milled. Thickening and stabilizing hydrocolloid giving aqueous solutions of high viscosity and high yield value even at low concentrations, not affected by temperature. Pseudo-plastic non thixotropic behaviour. Effective suspending and stabilizing agent for multi-phasic systems : aqueous suspensions, emulsions and foams, easily sprayable, flowable, pumpable (creams and lotions, toothpastes…) Thickening agent for creams, suspensions, shampoos, gels ; synergistic effect with galactomannanes, glucomannanes. Anti-syneresis agent, reduces gel exudation. Finished products using RHODICARE CFT keep original clarity. Compatible with cellulose derivatives in toothpaste formulations.
