Flexithix™ Powder is capable of thickening solvents across a broad polarity and pH range with a high electrolyte tolerance.
INCI PVP
FlexiThix™ is a patented thickener and texture modifier that works under extreme conditions. It is highly compatible in a number of systems and has little to no odor. While formulators once used gums and cellulose to thicken products, they now have a more versatile alternative with FlexiThix™.
