A Thickener is a chemical additive used to increase the viscosity or consistency of liquids, slurries, or solutions. It works by binding water molecules or increasing molecular interactions in a fluid, resulting in a thicker, more stable, and homogeneous mixture. Thickeners can be synthetic polymers (like Polyacrylamide, Carbomer), natural polymers (like starch, guar gum, xanthan gum), or mineral-based compounds. They are widely used across industrial, chemical, food, and personal care applications.
