THE STORY OF NANOSURF THICK 90M
Nanosurf Thick 90M: The Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polymer for Premium Texture Control
Nanosurf Thick 90M is an ultra–high molecular weight polyethylene glycol known for its exceptional thickening, stabilizing, and slip-enhancing properties. Even at extremely low concentrations, it delivers rich viscosity, smooth flow, and a luxurious cushiony feel — making it a top-tier polymer for advanced skincare and haircare systems.
Engineered Through Precision Polymerization for Maximum Performance
Nanosurf Thick 90M is produced via highly controlled polymerization of ethylene oxide, creating exceptionally long polymer chains responsible for its powerful rheology-modifying effects. After polymerization, the material is dried, milled, and purified to cosmetic-grade standards, ensuring consistency, stability, and high performance in formulation use.
High-Efficiency Thickening with Silky, Elegant Sensory Enhancement
In cosmetics, Nanosurf Thick 90M acts as a high-efficiency thickener, texture modifier, and stabilizer.
It provides exceptional viscosity, prevents phase separation, improves slip, and creates a silky, luxurious sensory profile. It is ideal for serums, lotions, conditioners, gels, masks, and high-performance emulsions requiring refined, cushioned texture.
Potent, Low-Dosage Polymer for Modern Formulation Science
Used in skincare, hair conditioners, serums, treatment gels, and stability-sensitive emulsions.
Recommended usage: extremely low — typically 0.05–1%, depending on viscosity goals.
Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.
Nanosurf Thick 90M is non-toxic, stable, and globally approved for cosmetic applications, making it a preferred choice for formulators aiming for elegant textures with high structural integrity.
Formulator’s Queries, We Answered
1. What is NanoSurf Thick 90M?
NanoSurf Thick 90M is a nano-engineered variant of PEG-90M, refined to improve dispersion, stability, and sensory performance in modern personal care formulations. By reducing the molecular size into nano-scale structures, it offers superior texture, feel, and formulation compatibility.
2. What is PEG-90M and why is it commonly used in cosmetics?
PEG-90M (Polyethylene Glycol-90M) is a high molecular weight water-soluble polymer (approximately 90,000 ethylene oxide units). It acts as a solvent, viscosity controller, binder, and emulsion stabilizer in a wide array of personal care products such as shampoos, lotions, creams, and conditioners
3. How does NanoSurf Thick 90M differ from standard PEG-90M?
While NanoSurf Thick 90M offers the same foundational functions as PEG-90M, its nano-formulation enhances benefits by providing:
- Faster dissolution and better dispersion
- Improved sensory profile—smoother, non-greasy texture
- Enhanced formulation stability in emulsions and gels
- Potential lower usage to achieve the same viscosity and binding effects
4. What are the key benefits of using NanoSurf Thick 90M in formulations?
Precise viscosity control for achieving the desired texture
Improved product coherence and stability even across varying temperatures and humidity
Enhanced spreadability and skin feel
Highly compatible with diverse ingredients, ensuring formulation flexibility
5. In which personal care products does NanoSurf Thick 90M shine?
Ideal for use in:
- Moisturizers, lotions, and creams
- Hair care products such as conditioners and styling gels
- Sunscreen formulations for texture control
- Shaving creams and bath products
- Decorative cosmetics like makeup and foundations
6. What are the CAS Number and INCI Name of PEG-90M?
CAS Number: 25322-68-3
INCI Name: PEG-90M
NanoSurf Thick 90M will retain these identifiers for regulatory transparency, while its nano-specific attributes may be detailed elsewhere in technical documentation.
7. Is NanoSurf Thick 90M safe for topical use?
Yes. PEG-90M is widely used in cosmetics and is generally considered safe when used within recommended concentration ranges. According to EWG, products with this ingredient are allowed under certain usage conditions, with higher scrutiny primarily in inhalable formats. As with all nano-ingredients, proper formulation testing, especially for irritation or sensitization, is advised.
8. How should formulators incorporate NanoSurf Thick 90M into products?
Add during the aqueous or emulsification phase, ensuring even dispersion with gentle mixing.
Use at lower concentrations compared to micro-scale PEG-90M, thanks to enhanced activity.
Conduct rheology and stability testing to fine-tune texture and performance.
9. Which skin or hair types benefit most from NanoSurf Thick 90M?
All types can benefit, especially:
Dry or mature skin, where enhanced hydration and spreadability are valuable
Hair care formulations, where smooth texture and frizz control are key
Products aimed at sensitive skin, seeking gentle texture without heavy residues
