Question

What happens if [b]SugarThick™[/b] is used at a concentration higher than the recommended 1%-5%?

Answer

Using SugarThick™ Above Recommended Concentration

The recommended usage rate for SugarThick™ (PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate) is 1-5%, with 1-3% often being sufficient depending on the desired viscosity.

Using SugarThick™ at concentrations higher than the recommended 5% may lead to several potential issues:

  • Reduced Clarity: High concentrations might negatively impact the transparency of the final product, making it cloudy.
  • Texture Issues: The texture might become overly thick, stringy, or otherwise undesirable.
  • Stability Concerns: Exceeding the recommended range could potentially affect the overall stability of the formulation over time.
  • Cost Ineffectiveness: Using more than needed increases the cost of the product without necessarily providing a proportional increase in performance or viscosity beyond a certain point.

While it might increase viscosity further, it is generally recommended to stay within the suggested range of 1-5% for optimal performance, clarity, and stability based on the product's intended use.
