About this product
Acid Thickener is an anionic surface-active thickening agent used to build viscosity in acidic cleaning formulations, where it stays stable in low-pH media that ordinary thickeners cannot hold. It is a formulated blend rather than a single substance, so it carries no single CAS number; it is classified under HSN 3402 90 99 and traded in Commercial Grade. We stock it at our Redhills, Chennai warehouse and supply cleaner and detergent formulators across South India, sourced from Indo Amines Limited, Dombivli (grade INDOCID OA2), which supplies it in 45 kg carboys against a batch Certificate of Analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is acid thickener used for?
It builds viscosity in acidic cleaning formulations - toilet bowl cleaners, low-pH hard-surface cleaners and similar concentrates - because it stays stable in acidic media. It is not the same as acid slurry (LABSA), which is the active anionic surfactant base of a detergent. Acid thickener is the thickening system that gives the finished cleaner its body and cling.
What is the CAS number of acid thickener, and what chemical is it?
There is no single CAS number for acid thickener. It is a functional trade descriptor for a formulated anionic surface-active blend, not a single chemical substance, so no one CAS applies. For customs and invoicing it is classified under HSN 3402 90 99.
What are the typical specifications of acid thickener?
Typical commercial-grade values are active content 25 - 30 % mass and pH 6.0 - 8.0 in 1% solution, with anionic ionic nature and stability in acidic media. These are typical commercial-grade figures, not batch-guaranteed or manufacturer-certified values. Download the TDS from this page or ask us for the current supplier data sheet before you finalise a formulation.
Is acid thickener anionic or non-ionic?
It is anionic. It disperses in acidic aqueous media and stays stable at low pH, which is what makes it suitable for acidic cleaner systems rather than only neutral or alkaline ones.
Where can I buy acid thickener in Chennai?
We stock and dispatch it from our Redhills, Chennai warehouse, with delivery across South India from our Periyamet office. Grades available are Commercial, Technical and Industrial, with lead time ex-stock to 5 working days. Call or WhatsApp +91 86087 80096 for a quote. Order sizes depend on packaging and current stock.
What is the shelf life of acid thickener and how should it be stored?
Shelf life is 24 months from manufacture. Store in a cool, dry place away from strong oxidisers and keep containers tightly closed. It may cause skin and eye irritation, so wear gloves and goggles when handling. It is not regulated for transport and is not classified as dangerous goods. The MSDS is linked on this page.
