Surfactant thickened systems comprising microfibrous cellulose and methods of making same

摘要

Surfactant systems are provided using microfibrous cellulose to suspend particulates. In one embodiment the surfactant system includes a microfibrous cellulose at a concentration from about 0.05% to about 1.0% (w/w), a surfactant at a concentration of about 5% to about 50% (w/w active surfactant), and a particulate. Also provided herein are methods for preparing surfactant systems including microfibrous cellulose.

1. An aqueous composition comprising a surfactant-thickened system consisting essentially of water, a bacterial-derived microfibrous cellulose present in the aqueous composition at a concentration from about 0.05% to about 0.15% (w/w), a surfactant present in the aqueous composition at a concentration from 5% to about 20% (w/w active surfactant), a salt, a suspended particulate, and a co-agent, wherein the aqueous composition is clear.
