Versagel® ME 500
Versagel® ME 500 is patented gelled emollients which exhibit extraordinarily good clarity, excellent thermal and UV stability, and versatile chemical compatibility. It is highly non-polar and thus, has a better affinity for low polarity materials such as fatty esters, low HLB nonionic surfactants, cyclomethicone, and other synthetic and natural emollients. Moisturization properties will be affected only minimally even though the viscosity of the gel may decrease significantly when other ingredients are added.
