WorléeAqua Thix – Rheology Modifier and Thickener for Personal Care
WorléeAqua Thix – All-in-One Polymers withBroad Application Possibilities
Rheology Modifier and Thickener for Personal Care
Under the product-brand WorléeAqua Thix, Worlée offers three liquid rheology modifiers designed to thicken, suspend, and stabilize rinse-off products like body washes, facial cleansers, or shampoos and emulsions for skin and sun care applications. The polymers also enhance pigment distribution in color cosmetics resulting in pleasant aesthetics and high coverage. They are cost-effective and easy-to-handle all-in-one polymers with numerous benefits. The products of the entire WorléeAqua Thix line forms different levels of thickening, yield strength, or thixotropy depending on the formulation, thus enabling stable suspensions of pigments, peeling particles, and other insoluble materials without sedimentation.This makes the WorléeAqua Thix line the perfect supplement for the production of formulations with WorléeBeads (wax exfoliation particles), WorléeSoft Beads (active-ingredient carriers), or water-based WorléeBase pigment pastes.
The Worlée name has been synony-mous with the highest-quality raw materials since 1851. Today, Worlée is among the indus-try’s most modern and technologically inno-vative companies. The enterprise is an interna-tional market leader for chemical, natural, and cosmetic raw materials with an extensive product range. Worlée’s broad global reach and sourcing strategy enable it to satisfy a great diversity of customer requirements. Through its numerous branches around the world, Worlée serves a diverse mix of customers and well-known multinational companies, offering total customer- oriented support. Many years ago, the company committed itself to the guiding principles of responsible trade and sustainable development, priorities that have meanwhile become firmly established in all three business divisions.

WorléeAqua Thix – Rheology Modifier and Thickener for Personal Care
High Pigment Compatibility and Electrolyte Tolerance
WorléeAqua Thix 100 provides very good stability, suspension, and pigment dispersion in emulsions, which makes it an excellent emulsion stabilizer for sun-care applications. The micrographs show that WorléeAqua Thix 100 offers high compatibility and efficacy with electrolytes such as Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid in combination with high levels of Titanium Dioxide.
Formulation and Processing
WorléeAqua Thix 100 can be added to a formulation at any time. If a pH value above 6.0 is set, WorléeAqua Thix 100 is active and thickens and stabilizes emulsions. It is both temperature-stable and can be heated up to 90°C, as well as shear stable, so that production with a rotor-stator mixer, disperser, bead mill, or homogenizer is possible. However, even low shear forces are sufficient for a good distribution since it is a liquid product.WorléeAqua Thix 100 is not freeze/thaw stable and should be stored between 4 and 25°C. The polymer in finished applications, however, is freeze/thaw stable. The product should be pumped with a low shear pump. Multivalent cations flocculate WorléeAqua Thix 100 irreversible. The minimum shelf life is 12 months.Formulations with WorléeAqua Thix 100 such as Soft Skin Repair Cream, Anti-Aging Body Lotion, Hydrogel with Aloe Vera SoftBeads, Waterproof and Long-Lasting Eyeliner, Concealer, Peel-Off Mascara, Water-Based Peel-Off Nail Polish, and Liquid-Gel Eye Shadow are available on request.

WorléeAqua Thix – Rheology Modifier and Thickener for Personal Care
Formulation and Processing
WorléeAqua Thix 200 is compatible with a wide range of ingredients, including food- grade preservatives, surfactants, humectants, cationic polymers, oils, and salts, which are commonly used in cleansing products. The polymer undergoes instantaneous thickening and builds suspension power when neutralized with a base. It is supplied as a low-viscosity easy-to-use liquid form; therefore it can be incorporated directly into formulations and is suitable for cold process.
Add WorléeAqua Thix 150/200 to mixing container and dilute with deionised water
Add surfactants while stirring Set pH-value above 6.0 with a base Add remaining ingredients Set the pH value to the desired value by
adding an acid or base. WorléeAqua Thix 200 remains transparent and clear at pH values less than 6, while WorléeAqua Thix 150 gets cloudy.
If desired, exfoliants, peeling particles, beads, spheres, mica etc. can now be added
However, WorléeAqua Thix 150/200 can also be added after adding all surfactants or at lat-er steps. If the pH value is then already above 6.0, WorléeAqua Thix 150/200 should be di-luted with water before addition and added with sufficient stirring to avoid the formation of gel clumps. Although this dissolves after prolonged stirring, it takes some time.WorléeAqua Thix 150/200 is not freeze/thaw stable and should be stored between 4 to 25°C. The product should be pumped with a low shear pump. Multivalent cations flocculate WorléeAqua Thix 150/200 irreversible.

Only WorléeAqua Thix 150 has a tan δ below 0.3 to permanently stabilize beads and air bubbles. The tan δ of WorléeAqua Thix 150 is completely independent of SLES/CAPB ratio. All other products need a higher use level to achieve a tan δ below 0.3. So WorléeAqua Thix 150 is most cost effective. WorléeAqua Thix 150 has the highest viscosity of all products with SLES/CAPB ratio of 10:2. For high-betaine shower gels and a SLES/CAPB ratio of 7.2:4.8 WorléeAqua Thix 150 has the requested viscosity level. Polymer C is too viscous and obtain a undesirable stringy texture. The two other polymers need a higher use level or a co-thickener. WorléeAqua Thix 150 shows the best clarity and very transparent shower gels can be produced.

WorléeAqua Thix 200Rheology Modifier and Thickening Agent for Low pH Cleansing Formulations
WorléeAqua Thix 200 shows a good viscosity comparable to the Acrylates Crosspolymer-4. Although the viscosity of the Acrylates Copolymer is higher, the viscosity is too high, so that removal from a packaging is hardly possible any more. Reducing the amount of Acrylates Copolymer is not an option; otherwise the tan δ would get to high. A tan δ below 0.3 means that beads and particles can be permanently suspended in suspension. WorléeAqua Thix 200 forms a sufficient yield stress while the Acrylates Crosspolymer-4 does not stabilize beads and particles adequately. The WorléeAqua Thix 200 shows the best transmittance, whereas visible opacity can be seen especially in the Acrylates Copolymer. WorléeAqua Thix 200 thus shows excellent balanced properties of transparency, thickening, and yield stress.
