Customer brief

A major U.S. lotion manufacturer was experiencing persistent difficulty dispersing Carbopol thickener into finished lotion formulations to achieve the target viscosity profile. Their existing batch‑tank agitation required prolonged mixing and additional Carbopol dosing to compensate for incomplete dispersion and ingredient loss.

The processor required a solution capable of fully dispersing Carbopol, improving viscosity control and reducing ingredient waste without replacing the full mixing system.
