RHEOSOLVE™ T 637 is an acrylic thickener in aqueous dispersion for the household, industrial and institutional detergent industries. It provides a versatile thickening efficiency. Rheosolve™ T 637 is easy to use and provides an instantaneous thickening effect.

GANTREZ™ S-95 35% SOLUTION POLYMER is a methyl vinyl ether/maleic acid copolymer produced by hydrolysis of (polymethylvinylether/maleic anhydride) copolymer. The free acid forms are water-soluble, giving clear and tacky films. The polymers acts as highly effective chelating agents for iron, magnesium, zinc and calcium ions, and controls mineral scale. In automatic diswashing products, Gantrez S-95 polymer replaces phosphates resulting in spot -free surfaces. In laundry and fabric care products, the polymer acts as s a calcium encrustation inhibitor to improve color protection and reduce graying of fabrics.

​Klucel™ hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) is a nonionic water-soluble cellulose ether with a remarkable combination of properties. It combines organic solvent solubility, thermoplasticity and surface activity with the aqueous thickening and stabilizing properties characteristic of other water-soluble cellulose polymers available from Ashland. Klucel HPC films are flexible without plasticizers and non-tacky at high humidity. The wood pulp used in our cellulose products is sourced from suppliers who have implemented zero deforestation business practices, adhering to standards set forth by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), by the Program for the Endorsement Certification (PEFC.), or both. Our cotton linters are sourced from suppliers who have received third party certifications including the Global Recycled Standard (GRS 4.0) and SCS Recycled Content Standard, certifying that their cotton linters are 100% recycled content.

JAYPOL 213 is a white, cationic liquid dispersion polymer with rheology enhancement for liquid fabric softener. It allows manufacturers to “dial-in” rich, thick formulation viscosity with ease and efficiency. Just as importantly, this product is shear-thinning, providing the means for consumer-desirable pouring attributes and efficient delivery into the wash drum during the final rinse cycle.
