Role in Cosmetics

The primary function of liquid thickeners is to increase the viscosity of a liquid without altering its basic properties. This is essential for achieving the desired mouthfeel and consistency that consumers expect. For instance, in soups and sauces, a thicker consistency can make the product more satisfying and enhance its flavor profile. Additionally, thickeners aid in preventing separation, ensuring a uniform product that remains appealing throughout its shelf life.

Another application is in self-leveling screeds, where RDPs enhance flow properties, enabling even spreading and reducing the labor intensity of application. Their inclusion helps to improve the mechanical strength of the screed while also providing resistance to cracking and shrinkage.

HPMC-based capsules can also play a role in addressing poor bioavailability. These capsules can interact with poorly soluble APIs, leading to a lower crystallisation rate in the GI tract, which can be important in situations when there are supersaturated APIs in the intestine or when dosing either a high-energy salt form or a weakly basic API.

The next step is to add HEC to the water gradually. This is crucial as adding HEC all at once can lead to clumping and incomplete dissolution. Sprinkle the HEC powder slowly while continuously stirring the water. It is advisable to add HEC in small increments to avoid the formation of lumps.
