Characteristics and Application :  

Keltrol is the trade name for the product Xanthan Gum products produced by CP Kelco. They are high molecular weight polysaccharides manufactured by a fermentation process.In cosmetics, Xanthan Gums are used for a variety of applications. In emulsions, they increase the heat stability of the product when used at low concentrations (between 0.1 % and 0.2 %). At concentrations up to 0.5 %, Xanthan Gums thicken water-based systems such as shower gels and/or lotions.Xanthan Gums are not sensitive to high shear rates or electrolytes and are stable over a broad pH range(3-11), which make them interesting for nearly all cosmetic products and applications.All Keltrol types are soluble in hot and cold water.

Keltrol CG-T is used for clear products (the “T” stands for transparent).Natural and efficient thickener and suspending agent.Can enhance the stability of emulsion systems.T is transparent type.
