The utilization of inorganic salts as thickeners usually involves a surfactant aqueous solution system, where surfactants create micelles in an aqueous solution. The presence of electrolytes boosts the number of micelle associations, resulting in the transformation of spherical micelles into rod-shaped ones, hence increasing movement resistance and boosting the system's viscosity. However, excessive electrolyte content can affect micelle structure, reducing movement resistance and ultimately causing a decrease in system viscosity, also known as "salting." Therefore, only small amounts of electrolytes within 1%~2% are added. They work alongside other types of thickeners to ensure system stability.
