Jeen International Corporation has announced the introduction of the Jeethix product line of thickeners. The Jeethix line is a unique range of products positioned to provide both thickening and stabilisation benefits in a wide range of formulations.
With technologies widely applicable worldwide, the versatile Jeethix products further demonstrate the continuing Jeen International commitment to provide a complete functional ingredients portfolio. Composed of four initial products, the Jeethix series includes acrylamide, acrylate and taurate copolymer technologies. The flagship product, Jeethix 305, is a polyacrylamidebased liquid designed for aqueous formulations. Pseudoplastic and non-thixotropic, use of Jeethix 305 results in reduced formulation viscosity with shear stress and instantly returns to initial viscosity upon standing. Jeethix 305 can be used at a wide pH range of 2-11 and exhibits excellent high temperature stability. Jeethix T is a unique sodium acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer which requires no neutralisation and swells quickly in water to provide outstanding thickening across a wide pH range. Jeethix 980, a carbomer, along with Jeethix SP round out the initially launched products. Both are based on acrylate technology and provide excellent thickening and stabilisation attributes in a wide range of formulations.
