Product Highlights
  • BENTONE  GEL  HS  V is  a  specially  prepared dispersion  of  an  organically modified  hectorite  in Hemisqualane (C13-15 Alkane).  
  • BENTONE GEL HS V delivers a combination of benefits in a single, easy  to  use  product.  It  is  designed  to  impart rheological  control  and  suspension  properties  to emulsion and anhydrous products.
  • BENTONE  GEL  HS  V provides  thermostable viscosity control of the emulsion’s oil phase, imparts thixotropic  flow,  improves  application  properties, enhances  esthetics  by  masking  greasy  and  tacky components and imparts a pleasant residual silkiness on the skin. Hemisqualane  is  a  light  natural  emollient  derived from sugar cane.  
  • BENTONE GEL HS V is especially designed to impart a light skin feel as an alternative to cyclic silicones.
Product Properties

Non-animal origin

Rheological control

  • Predictable, reproducible and stable viscosity control
  • Shear-thinning viscosity
  • Excellent suspension of pigments and actives
  • Controlled alignment of special-effect pigments
  • Thermostable viscosity raises apparent melting point and ensures cost-efficient use of UV filters
  • Emulsion stabilization [w/o and o/w ]

Convenience

  • Optimally pre-activated and dispersed organoclay  
  • Incorporates with medium-shear mixing
  • Can be added at any convenient stage of manufacture
  • Gives a high degree of formulating flexibility
  • Provides highly reproducible results for multi-site production requirements

Acceptability

  • Non-abrasive
  • Provides smooth feel to skin
  • Toxicologically safe ingredients

Formulations Guidelines
  • BENTONE GEL  HS  V can  be  added  at  any convenient suitable stage  during the manufacturing process.
  • BENTONE  GEL  HS  V is  a  very  high  viscosity, shear-thinning   product.   To   ensure   good homogeneous  mixing  is  achieved,  care  must  be taken  to  overcome the  large  viscosity  differential existing between the BENTONE GEL and the other lower  viscosity  components.  Choice  of  mixing equipment  and  the  configuration within  the  mixing vessels are critical factors in developing the optimum performance  of  the  BENTONE  GEL  additives.  The use  of medium-  to  high-shear  mixing equipment  is recommended.

Technical Details & Test Data

Product Compatibility

BENTONE GEL additives can  contribute greatly to a formulation’s stability by  improving the compatibility of  other    ingredients.  Care    should  be  taken    to determine  the   compatibility  of  the  BENTONE  GEL additive  with   the   oils,    actives  or  surfactant ingredients within    a formulation. The  wide  range    of grades  available  allows     selection  of  the  optimal carrier and organoclay for each system.

Product usual concentrations
  • The level of use of the BENTONE GEL will depend on the formulation. Suspension will be provided by 2.5-10.0%  additions.  In  emulsions,  thickening  will occur in the oil phase only and emulsion viscosities will  be  influenced  by  3-5%  additions.  Novel emulsification  effects  can  be  achieved,  giving  light feel  and  lower  viscosities.  In some  water-in-oil systems a reduction of surfactant may be achievable by the use of BENTONE GEL additive.
  • Higher levels of BENTONE GEL will have a greater viscosity  influence  and thermostable  viscosity  in single phase systems may be achieved by 10-25% additions.
