Magnesium aluminum silicate NuGum HV

Details:

Introduction

NuGum HV is a selectively mined, specially processed and water-washed smectite  product, with optimal purity, heavy metals and performance. It is indicated where high viscosity at low solids is desired. Excellent emulsion and suspension  stabilization at low use levels.

NuGum HV conforms to the EP monograph for Aluminium Magnesium Silicate. The specifications and performance of NuGum HV are equivalent to those of Veegum HV.

Specifications

Functional Use

A suspending agent, viscosifier, binder and emulsion stabilizer.The primary benefit of NuGum HV is the ability to stabilize a dispersion  of  almost  anything  dispersed  in  water  lipids  in emulsions, solids in suspensions, gases in foams. It’s also rheology modifiers and "feel" improvers, overcoming the tacky,slimy or gummy nature of organic thickeners and other formula ingredients.  Additionally,  It’s resistant  to degradation  by bacteria, heat, UV and shear. NuGum HV  is  used  primarily  in  cosmetics N (e.g.,  pigment suspension  in  mascaras  and  eyeshadow  creams)  and pharmaceuticals.

Usage

NuGum HV must be properly dispersed in water to achieve the best performance. No other materials should be present in the water because they can interfere with proper hydration and the formation of the colloidal structure. The degree of hydration is directly proportional to the amount of energy used to disperse the product, increasing with the mixing time, mixing intensity or water  temperature.  After  sufficient  hydration  time,  add remaining ingredients. Then the dilution process is complete. Typical addition levels are between 0.5% and 3% of the total

formulation by weight.

Solubility

Insoluble, but dispersible in water
