Acid Thickener is a specialized cationic surfactant-based additive used to increase the viscosity of hydrochloric acid (HCL)-based toilet cleaners. It converts thin acid into a thick, viscous gel-like liquid, which clings to vertical surfaces for longer contact time and better cleaning performance.
At MANNAT ENTERPRISES, we supply high-performance Acid Thickener suitable for commercial toilet cleaner formulations. It not only improves consistency but also enhances cleaning efficiency, perfume stability, and shelf life of the final product. Ideal for bulk manufacturers and small-scale toilet cleaner brands.
🌿 Key Features:
-
Thickens HCL-Based Toilet Cleaners – Converts low-viscosity acid into a thick gel.
-
Improves Surface Contact Time – Helps cleaner stay on toilet bowl walls for deeper cleaning.
-
Enhances Perfume Retention – Holds fragrance better due to gel consistency.
-
Stable & Non-Separating – Ensures long shelf life of the final product.
-
Low Dosage Required – Economical performance with just 1%–2% usage.
🛠 Common Applications:
-
Toilet Bowl Cleaners
Thickens hydrochloric acid base to improve cling and reduce wastage. -
Bathroom Tile Cleaners
Used in acidic tile cleaning products to prevent runoff. -
Vertical Surface Acid Gels
Enables application of acid on walls, corners, and rims for descaling. -
Fragranced Acid Cleaners
Supports fragrance retention by suspending perfume in viscous base.
💡 How to Use:
-
Take the required quantity of HCL (usually 10%–15% for toilet cleaner).
-
Start stirring and add 1%–2% Acid Thickener slowly.
-
Continue stirring until uniform thickening occurs.
-
Add non-ionic surfactant (like Alphox 200) for extra foaming if required.
-
Add color and fragrance. Stir well and store.
📌 Note: Stir gently. Excessive agitation may reduce viscosity.
