The polymer is efficient in thickening, clarity and suspension properties, as shown in studies comparing it to other hydrophobically-modified polymers, per the company.
Foam generation studies also showed that the polymer does not negatively impact foam quality, both in the foam volume generated and its foam morphology, per the company. As a result, formulations have increased lather quality.
