W405 stabiliser
W405 Stabilizer – a versatile additive for hardening wax and making liquid soaps and shower gels more gel-like. Improves the appearance of candles and reduces dripping. Also suitable for thickening surfactant-based cosmetic products.
W405 stabiliser is an effective dry granular additive used in nail wax blends as well as in surfactant (surfactant) based personal care products such as liquid soap, shampoo and shower gel.
W405 helps you make candles:
-
strengthen waxes and reduce surface stickiness
-
improve opalescence (milky cloudiness)
-
reduce discolouration and dripping
-
make the end result visually cleaner and more professional
In cosmetics – shower gel, shampoo and liquid soap, the W405 stabiliser helps:
-
increase the viscosity, i.e. make the product thicker and gelier
-
stabilize the final composition, avoiding layering or excess fluidity
-
to compensate for the effects of fragrance oils, which can make gels milky or runny
-
create the familiar gel texture we expect from a shampoo or body wash.
The use of W405 is particularly recommended when fragrance oils make the detergent too liquid or cloudy.
Recommended application rate: 0.02%–0,1%. The best starting level is 0.05%. Although it is possible to add more (e.g. up to 1%), this is usually not economically justified.
Melting point: 72-76 °C
Form and packaging: dry granules, available in bags.
Safety: not classified as a hazardous substance (not on ADR/RID list).
