Exilva pH Compatibility

Tests in our laboratory demonstrate the robustness of Exilva® over a wide pH range. Exilva maintains its performance in a pH range from 1 to 13 over time without gelling or precipitation. Exilva is a robust stabiliser and rheology modifier in very acidic and very alkaline liquid formulations.

Results show that Exilva can be used as a rheology modifier and stabiliser in different kinds of systems. Compared to other additives used for these purposes, Exilva has a unique advantage: it is stable over a wide pH range from pH below 2 to pH above 12.

This enables Exilva to be used in a variety of products from low to high pH systems, as well as in manufacturing processes where high or low pH is required.

No flocculation, gelling or precipitation is observed.


Key takeaways:

  • Exilva is robust and compatible in a wide pH range.
  • Exilva can be used as a rheology additive or stabiliser in liquid fertilizers or crop protection formulations ranging from highly acid to highly alkaline pH.
  • Exilva is a bio-based and biodegradable rheology modifier for normal and extreme pH formulations.
