คำตอบ
Gelling Agents for High-Alcohol Hand Gel
For creating a hand gel with an alcohol concentration exceeding 95%, it is important to select a gelling agent that is compatible with high levels of alcohol and low levels of water.
Based on the product information, Carbomer 974 (Solvent-Soluble, High Suspension, Short-flow) is suitable for formulations with low water content, containing glycols or other solvents. This makes it a potential option for high-alcohol hand gels.
Other gelling agents like Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC), AnyGel™, or ThixoGel™ are typically designed for water-based formulations and may not effectively create a gel texture in a formula with over 95% alcohol.
