Versagel® MX 1600 T
The Versagel® MX 1600 T is based on gelling USP grade white mineral oil in such a way as it promotes superior moisture retention by creating a continuous film enabling oil to be easily spread with no pooling of the product. It also provides a lowmoisture system for protection of water-sensitive additive packages/ingredients. In liquid systems fine particles don’t easily remain in suspension; they tend to settle at the bottom and agglomerate. As shown below in the suspension stability testing, Versagel provides excellent suspension properties because the polymers provide sufficient yield stress to prevent aggregation and settling.
