Acid Thickener is a specially formulated cationic surfactant-based additive designed to thicken hydrochloric acid-based formulations, such as toilet bowl cleaners, bathroom cleaners, and hard surface descalers. It enhances the viscosity, stability, and cling of acidic cleaning solutions, improving contact time, and thereby increasing cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

This additive is effective even in highly acidic environments, offering excellent rheological control, clarity, and flow properties.

Appearance Clear to pale yellow viscous liquid
Type Cationic surfactant-based thickening agent

Applications

  • Toilet Bowl Cleaners
  • Bathroom & Tile Cleaners
  • Descaling Agents for Industrial Equipment

  • Limescale Removers

Features

  • Efficiently thickens hydrochloric acid up to 33–35% concentration
  • Provides good cling to vertical surfaces
  • Enhances cleaning and descaling performance
  • Reduces acid splashing and improves safety
  • Compatible with fragrance, color, and surfactant systems
  • Requires only low dosage for desired viscosity

Dosage

  • 1.5% – 2.5% depending on required viscosity and acid strength (Always conduct a pilot batch test for accurate results.)

Storage & Handling

Store in a cool, dry, and ventilated area away from direct sunlight and incompatible chemicals. Use appropriate PPE (gloves, eye protection) during handling. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
