Description
Introduction
Acid Thickener is a specialized chemical compound used as a versatile thickening agent in various cleaning products and formulations. It may be derived from the ethoxylation of oleyl amine, resulting in a unique surfactant with excellent thickening properties. This acid thickener is designed to enhance the viscosity and stability of cleaning solutions, making them more effective in clinging to vertical surfaces and improving overall cleaning performance.
Fatty amine ethoxylate is a type of cationic surfactant in the wide world of acid thickener surfactants, which has the ability to thicken certain acids. It is also a disinfectant, used to make it viscos in nature and prevent corrosion. It can be formulated with fatty amine ethoxylate and is completely suitable for thickening hydrochloric acid.
It has good resistance to metal surfaces and is an accessible multifunctional material with effective thickening, corrosion prevention, wetting and perfume soluble properties.

Acid Thickener Uses
Acid Thickener serves various essential functions in cleaning products:
Thickening Agent:
As a thickener, it increases the viscosity of cleaning formulations, allowing them to adhere to surfaces for a longer period, ensuring better contact time and deeper penetration into dirt and stains.
Surface-Active Agent:
It exhibits cationic surfactant properties, contributing to effective emulsification, wetting, and dispersion of oils and other hydrophobic substances, leading to improved cleaning efficiency.
Stabilizer:
It enhances the stability of cleaning formulations, preventing phase separation and maintaining the desired consistency and appearance of the product.
Cleaning Gel Formulations:
It is commonly used in cleaning gel formulations, providing the required thickness and clinginess to gel-based products, allowing for easy application on vertical surfaces without dripping.
Toilet Bowl Cleaners:
Acid Thickener is widely employed in toilet bowl cleaners, ensuring the product adheres to the bowl’s surface, effectively removing stains and mineral deposits.
Descalers and Lime Removers:
In descaling and lime removing products, the acid thickener enhances the cleaning action by clinging to surfaces, efficiently dissolving mineral deposits and scaling.
Toilet Bowl Cleaner Formula
- First take 68 kg of water in the reactor.
- Now add 2 kg Acid Thickener to water and mix well for 10 minutes.
- Now while stirring continuously, add 30 kg of HCL of at least 33% purity.
- Continue stirring for 10 minutes, so that the acid is completely mixed with the thickening solution.
Precautions
While Acid Thickener is generally considered safe when used in cleaning formulations, it is essential to follow recommended guidelines and precautions:
- Dosage: Use the thickener in the recommended dosage, as excessive use may affect the stability and performance of the cleaning product.
- Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with other ingredients in the formulation to avoid potential compatibility issues.
- Handling: Handle the product with care and follow safety guidelines, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.
- Storage: Store the AT in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Acid Thickener offers valuable thickening, surfactant, and stabilizing properties, enhancing the effectiveness and performance of cleaning products.
