The main effects on production (gelator concentration, dissolver rotational speed, heating and cooling times, etc.) of hydrocarbon gels are discussed in detail.
The experiments were done with 250 ml amounts of Jet A-1 / THIXCIN R gels in a small laboratory dissolver facility.
Thixcin R (a ricinolic acid derivative) was chosen as gelator because in comparison to silica or bentonite gellants, THIXCIN R is a combustible organic material and would not change the energy content of the fuel very much.
For characterisation and quality control of the gels most of the experiments were done with a double-barrel capillary viscosimeter.
The reason for using this instrument instead of a rotational viscosimeter is that the shear rates necessary for gel atomisation in a rocket injector are much higher (> 105/s) than in rotational viscosimeters which have been used by many other authors.
Also measurement of extensional viscosity, which plays an important but often ignored role in atomisation, was achieved with this instrument.
Several test series were conducted in the laboratory facility.
Variation of production temperature within the range of 40 to 60°C showed that the best results could be achieved by keeping the temperature at 50°C.
In another test series, the concentration of gelator was varied in the range of 4 to 7% by weight.
The results show that at least gelator concentrations of more than 5% and dissolver rotational velocities of 1000 rpm are necessary to get stable gels.
The influence of mixing time was investigated in another test series.
The results demonstrate that a mixing time not longer than 2.5 hours is sufficient for completion of gel formation.
The experiments should be considered as a first step to optimisation of the gel production process.
THIXCIN R is a non-hygroscopic derivative of castor oil that imparts a high degree of thixotropic thickening in cosmetics mineral, vegetable and silicones oils, as well as low-polarity aliphatic solvents.
THIXCIN R provides thixotropy and imparts good pay-off in stick products; improves product stability when used in the oil phase of emulsions; and can be used as a binder in pressed powder formulations.

THIXCIN R controls viscosity, reduces settling of pigments and extenders, produces optimum flow, enhances leveling and improves stick pay-off & compatibility.
THIXCIN R is suitable for use in creams, lotions, eye pencils & sticks, eye shadows, mascaras, lip glosses, lipsticks, lip balms, nail-polishes and sun care products.
KEY PROPERTIES of THIXCIN R:
• Adds thixotropic body and controls viscosity
• Reduces settling of pigments and extenders
• Produces optimum flow
• Enhances levelling
• Improves stick pay-off
• Provides binding in pressed powders
• Improves compatibility
THIXCIN R should be added to the emulsion’s oil phase or, in non-emulsion-based formulations, at the beginning of the dispersion process, preferably by pre-mixing the solvent or oil for 5 minutes before other components are added.
THIXCIN R should be subjected to as much shear as possible during processing to develop its full properties.
However, when using THIXCIN R, an incorporation temperature range of 55-65°C must be observed; below 55°C, thixotropy will not develop; above 65°C, soft gel-like particles may appear on cooling the formulation.
The presence of higherpolarity oils and solvents will lower this upper temperature limit.
To avoid the particles forming, continuous stirring should be maintained until the product has cooled to below 45°C.

Where can THIXCIN R be used and what major benefits can be achieved?
THIXCIN R is suitable for various cosmetic and personal care formulations, including colour cosmetics, skin care, sun care and hair care.
Product forms can be emulsions, oil gels, sticks and powders, etc.
As an effective rheological additive, THIXCIN R builds viscosity, suspends particulates, offers a high degree of thixotropy and helps control flow.
THIXCIN R can greatly enhance the physical stability of formulations, in either emulsions or single oil phase formulations.
In solid product forms, such as lipsticks or hair styling sticks, THIXCIN R also functions as a stiffening agent.
Additional benefits may include improved pay-off, added lubricity and a buttery feel.
In body wash formulations THIXCIN R proved to be an effective rheological modifier and can be used to achieve the desired false body effect.
THIXCIN Rs water repellency is very useful in products such as lipgloss and lipstick, etc.
THIXCIN R can also be used as a dry binder in pressed powders.
What is the preferred procedure for dispersing and activating THIXCIN R?
Unless limited by specific formulation requirements, the following incorporation procedure is generally suggested for optimal activation of THIXCIN R:
1. Disperse THIXCIN R powder with stirring into the whole, or part, of the oil phase at room temperature, or at C.
2. Heat the THIXCIN R and oil mixture to C, if mixed at room temperature.
3. Apply high shear mixing for about 20 minutes while maintaining the temperature at C to allow full activation.
4. Cool to below 35 C with low to medium shear stirring.
What mixing equipment is suggested?
During the 20 minute period of shear, a silverson homogeniser, high shear stirrer or another similar type of mixing equipment may be used.
Propeller stirring is recommended during the cooling process.
Is it possible to formulate THIXCIN R into my system with varied processing conditions?
Although the suggested incorporation procedure proved to be satisfactory in most systems, other processing conditions may be needed, depending on the requirements of the formulation.
In addition, for the convenience of formulation, optional ways to incorporate THIXCIN R may also be required.
We studied the processing of THIXCIN R in a series of single solvent systems, as well as personal care formulations, and found that it is possible to activate THIXCIN R under varied conditions.
The results depend on the solvent system and the formulation, and should be evaluated case by case.
One major indicator of unsuccessful incorporation of THIXCIN R is the seeding phenomenon.
What possible ways are there to incorporate THIXCIN R into different systems without the undesirable ”seeding” phenomenon?
Ideally, we suggest to follow the preferred incorporation procedure outlined earlier, which ensures optimal activation without seeding.
In the product formulation process, a master batch can be prepared containing a higher level of THIXCIN R, e.g. 10%, dispersed in a suitable liquid using high shear mixing equipment.
This can then be incorporated into the rest of the formulation with ordinary mixing, without the need of additional high shear.
As indicated earlier, if the overall formulation process does not allow us to follow the preferred THIXCIN R incorporation method.
Two lipgloss formulations containing seeding.
We know that whether seeding occurs, the same level of THIXCIN R were heated to due to THIXCIN R exposure to higher 85 C, mixed and then cooled without stirring.
temperatures, such as 85 C, is largely dependent The formulation on the left shows seeding, on the particular oil/solvent system.
During the cool-down process, maintaining the temperature at C for 20 minutes, while applying high shear, may help reduce the risk of seeding.
The formulation can be cooled to room temperature with stirring.
In a single oil phase formulation, higher temperatures may be needed to melt certain ingredients within the formulation.
THIXCIN R can be added and activated during the cool-down process by maintaining C for 20 minutes, while applying high shear mixing to reduce the chance of seeding.
For a stick formulation, the formula may solidify above or around C.
In this case, THIXCIN R may be successfully incorporated even at higher temperatures without seeding, but this largely depends on the system.
In cases where seeding is observed, due to low activation temperatures, correction can be made by bringing the batch to C, while applying high shear for 20 minutes. 7
