2 Tylose for Home Care Home Care products include all types of liquid products such as floor cleaners, detergents and dishwashing agents. Viscous formulas or gel cleaners are particularly useful for cleaning vertical surfaces. Gel cleaners also tend to be chosen for applications where the agent will be left to work for an extended period of time. Tylose is ideal for thickening and adjusting the rheology of waterbased, liquid cleaners with a ph between The desired look and consistency for cleaning agents can be achieved using Tylose. Tylose can also be used as a thickener to adjust the rheology of liquid detergents, especially in products designed for delicate textiles. Application Properties In the field of Home Care the following properties of Tylose are particularly significant: Thickening/Adjustment of consistency Storage stability High compatibility with other raw materials such as surfactants Tylose delayed solubility grades have important characteristics which make them appropriate as thickeners in cleaner formulations: Easy incorporation in the formulation Solutions of good clarity Good compatibility with ionic surfactants Good storage stability

3 Thickening / Adjustment of Consistency Tylose can thicken and adjust the consistency of neutral cleaners, washing up liquids and liquid detergents. With Tylose one can thicken and adjust the consistency of neutral cleaners, washing up liquids and liquid detergents. The thickening effect of Tylose grades is dependent on the degree of polymerisation (DP) or the molecular weight and the concentration used. When using the same concentration, the viscosity of the solution increases with an increased degree of polymerisation. Aqueous solutions of Tylose grades are shear thinning liquids. The viscosity is decreased by an increase in shear stress, and returns to its initial viscosity when the shear stress is removed. High viscosity Tylose grades have a stronger shear thinning effect than those of low viscosity, which is shown in the diagram below. The rheological profile varies depending on the Tylose type used, e.g. Tylose HS or Tylose MH.

4 Storage Stability Tylose displays optimum storage stability when waterbased cleaners are ph neutral. Generally, the lower a Tylose grade s viscosity, the better its storage stability. The more acidic or alkaline a cleaner is, the more the Tylose viscosity will be reduced over an extended period of time (see diagram below). It is advisable to use a low to medium viscosity Tylose grade for such products as this has significantly better storage stability. ph 6.5 Tylose MH low viscosity Tylose MH medium viscosity Tylose HS medium viscosity Tylose HS high viscosity Weeks Weeks ph 9.8 Tylose MH low viscosity Tylose MH medium viscosity Tylose HS medium viscosity Tylose HS high viscosity Weeks Weeks * Testing of 1% Tylose MH and Tylose HS solutions over 12 weeks

5 Compatibility of Tylose with Surfactants Tylose delayed solubility grades are particularly well suited for use in cleaners due to their good solubility properties. In addition, most surfactants give a higher thickening effect with Tylose grades (see diagram below). When producing a cleaning agent formula, it is advisable to manufacture the Tylose solution first and then add the other ingredients.
