Promidium™ LTS

Promidium™ LTS is a translucent liquid nonionic surfactant complex. It is a thickener system designed for highly efficient build-in surfactant systems.

A key feature is its highly shear thinning flow behavior, which is essential to formulating easy-to-use finished products. Promidium™ LTS provides exceptional viscosity built-in difficult-to-thicken and traditional surfactant systems, with highly pseudoplastic rheology, compatibility with a wide range of ingredients, and salt tolerance.

Promidium™ LTS is a mild, vegetable-based, preservative-free, and microbiologically stable complex for formulations with high actives. It is a thickener with broad applicability that enables the reduction of other functional ingredients, cold-temperature processing, and the production of crystal-clear products.

Producing mild products with reduced irritancy potential, Promidium™ LTS is a consumer-friendly, efficient, and ease-of-formulation ingredient. It has no incompatibility with incumbent preservative systems.
