Thickeners comprising at least one polyfunctional alcohol ester of formula (I), where G is a radical which is obtained by removing all alcoholic hydroxy groups from a polyhydric alcohol; A is an alkylene group having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, where all identical or different alkylene groups may be randomly distributed or present in blocks, n is a number from 101 to 200, and the total of m + p represents the total number of alcoholic hydroxy groups in the polyhydric alcohol, and RCO is an acyl radical of saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched fatty acids having 6 to 22 carbon atoms, are proposed. |
