Thickeners:

These are protective or hydrophilic colloids, they increase the strength of the hydration layer formed around suspended particles through H-bonding and molecular interaction. Since these agents do not reduce surface and interfacial tension greatly, they function best in the presence of a surfactant. Many of these agents are protective colloids in low conc. (<0.1%)>0.1%).
