A fully activated solution of cellulose that is ready to use. The solution creates a three-dimensional network of insoluble fibers of cellulose that provides yield stress without significantly affecting final or perceived viscosity of the formulation.

Arbalon™ R-50 cellulose liquid is a unique and highly functional form of pre-activated cellulose solution characterized by its ability to impart a true yield stress and suspend insoluble particles in personal care formulations while at the same time imparting a minimal negative impact on the final viscosity of the formulation. Arbalon™ R-50 cellulose liquid is an eco-friendly alternative derived from microbial fermentation process. Arbalon™ products are manufactured by CP Kelco U.S., INC.

Recommended use level: 3-10% as supplied

Features/Benefits
▪ Creates a true yield stress that provides reliable suspension of solids/actives with minimal impact on perceived viscosity
▪ Disperses easily into most personal care formulations under low mix energy and standard mixing methods
▪ High suspension and stabilization of insoluble ingredients enabling formulation versatility
▪ Provides formulation diversity: effective in surfactant-based formulations such as body-wash, liquid foam, shampoos, as well as in emulsions
▪ Provides high clarity
▪ Ready to use - the product is fully activated; no pH adjustment or high shear mixing or heat is required
▪ Sustainable / eco-friendly: derived from a microbial fermentation production process
▪ Thickens over a broad pH range (pH 4.0-12.0), enabling potential applications with active ingredients at low or high pH
▪ Tolerant to a range of conditions, including temperature, surfactants, pH (low and high), and salt levels
