BENTONE GEL PIO V is a specially prepared Non-animal origin dispersion of a non-animal origin organically modified Rheological control hectorite in Hydrogenated Polyisobutene. It delivers a combination of control benefits in a single, easy to use product. It is Shear-thinning viscosity designed to impart rheological control and suspension properties to emulsion and anhydrous products. BENTONE GEL PIO V provides thermostable viscosity control of the emulsion's oil phase, imparts thixotropic flow, improves application properties, enhances skin-feel by masking greasy and tacky components and imparts a pleasant residual silkiness to the skin. BENTONE GEL PIO V is an alternative to traditional polymer or cellulose-based thickeners for stabilising emulsions. It provides highly reproducible results for multi-site production requirements. BENTONE GEL PIO V can contribute greatly to a formulation's stability by improving the compatibility of other ingredients.
