Stabilize cosmetic and personal care formulations  the natural way

EXPANDA® SILVER is a natural, micro fine bentonite. It has functional use as binder, stabilizer, suspension agent, a thickening agent, and rheological modifier. Its excellent suspending properties are due to the shear-thinning, thixotropic behavior of EXPANDA SILVER dispersions, which increases the yield value or resting viscosity of the final formulation. EXPANDA SILVER combined with gums and organic thickeners, such as xanthan, carboxymethyl-cellulose, or carbomers synergistically increases viscosity and the yield value. It provides additional water absorbent capacity with superior stability in the presence of organic compounds. It has application as a thickening, suspension, and stability agent in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, personal care, and household products. EXPANDA SILVER is sterilized by gamma irradiation
