DATE

October 30, 2024

TIME

8:00 a.m. PDT, 11:00 a.m. EDT, 15:00 GMT, 16:00 CET - Duration: 60 Minutes

Overview

Join Elvin Servellon for an engaging webinar on the innovative use of xanthan gum special grades as a thickening agent in surfactant-based formulations. We will discuss key benefits, including its ability to maintain stability in rheology and pH for over six months, as well as its impressive foam properties, such as build-up performance and decay.

Participants will also learn about xanthan gum's compatibility with a wide range of surfactants, from traditional options like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate to modern biodegradable alternatives like Sophorolipids and Rhamnolipids. Discover how this versatile thickener performs across various pH levels, making it ideal for both acidic products (like toilet cleaners) and alkaline formulations (such as oven cleaners). Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your detergent formulations!

Key Learning Objectives:

Capabilities of different Xanthan Gum grades with surfactants (old and new).
Compatibility with acidity/alkalinity.
Stabilizer of foams to increase and improve contact time performance.

Who Should Attend:

Laboratory managers
Chromatographers
New Product Developers in Cleaners and Detergents.
