  What’s the final application? Might be able to use PVP, maybe a carbomer, diutan gum will definitely work but might require some heat/shear

    Do carbomer or PVP thicken mono propylene glycol itself or there should be some water in the formula too? I do not want any water in my formula

  @Shaghayegh Rapidgel EZ1 will thicken glycol systems but you will need a very small amount of water (2.0%) to activate it and achieve a clear gel otherwise you’ll need to mix all day.
