Application Note - Poloxamer 124 as a Rheology Modifier in Household Products

Since poloxamers are available with different hydrophilic to hydrophobic ratios and total average molecular weights, they can be used in a broad range of applications. Poloxamer 124 can be used to control thickness (viscosity) of personal care products and dish soaps. 

The amphiphilic nature of Poloxamer 124 results in self-assembly in the form of multimolecular aggregates at high enough concentrations. Unlike other applications where the thermo-responsive behavior is exploited, overall viscosity modification is the main benefit in this product. 

In this application note, we present shear rate dependent viscosity data for a common household product known to contain poloxamer 124 for viscosity enhancement. Also included is a discussion on the importance of sample homogeneity and how it can influence viscosity measurements.
