Overview
INCI: Acrylates Copolymer
CELLOSIZE™ QP-15000H PCG is a non-ionic, water-soluble hydroxyethyl cellulose thickening polymer with a high molecular weight that is suitable for use in various personal care and color cosmetic formulations, providing enhanced thickening, emulsion stability, and pleasing sensory properties. As a natural thickener, this cellulose easily disperses and promotes polymer chain entanglement for rapid thickening, creating a low-viscosity system with high solution clarity. It is compatible with a range of pH conditions, surfactants, and other formulation ingredients, such as inorganic salts, resins, and gums, allowing for excellent versatility. CELLOSIZE™ QP-15000H PCG is non-GMO and wood PECF certified.
