New Product Launch: CAG-AFT300 Air-Freshening Gel Agent – Revolutionizing Solid Air Freshener Production

New Product Launch: CAG-AFT300 Air-Freshening Gel Agent – Revolutionizing Solid Air Freshener Production

Zhejiang CAG Hydrocolloids Biotec Co., Ltd is proud to introduce our latest innovation: CAG-AFT300 Air-Freshening Gel Agent. Developed with high-quality gellan gum as the core ingredient, this specialized hydrocolloid solution is designed to make the manufacturing of solid air fresheners, automotive fragrance gels, and scented cards simpler, more efficient, and highly reliable.


Why Choose CAG-AFT300?

Traditional gel agents often require additional humectants and complex processing steps. CAG-AFT300 changes the game by integrating water-retention functionality directly into the product. This means no external humectants are needed, significantly reducing formulation complexity and production time.

Key Advantages at a Glance

Feature

Benefit

High Gel Strength

Forms a firm, stable structure that maintains shape during storage and use.

High-Temperature Stability (up to 80°C)

Does not melt or release water (syneresis) under heat, ensuring product integrity even in hot environments like cars.

No Additional Humectants Required

Simplifies formulation and cuts costs. Just disperse, heat, and cool.

Favorable Fragrance Release

Supports a stable gel matrix that enables consistent, long-lasting scent diffusion.

Thermoirreversible Gel

Once formed, the gel cannot be remelted, providing excellent durability and leak resistance.

Simple Processing, Professional Results

With CAG-AFT300, producing high-quality air-freshening gels is straightforward:

  1. Disperse 1.0% CAG-AFT300 in distilled water (soak for ~1 hour for optimal hydration).

  2. Heat the mixture to 95°C and hold for 30 minutes.

  3. Cool to 60–65°C, then add fragrance (1.0–3.0%), emulsifier (Tween-80, 0.8%), and preservative (1.0%).

  4. Fill and package – no extra water-retaining agents needed.

Critical Note: The gel formed is thermoirreversible. Keep all production equipment (tanks, pipelines, filling machines) above 60°C until filling is complete to prevent premature gelling and blockages.

Formulation Flexibility

Our reference formula is a great starting point, but CAG-AFT300 is compatible with various fragrances and emulsifiers. For customers in frigid zones, simply add 5% glycerin or 2% propylene glycol to enhance freeze-thaw resistance.
