Personal Care Ingredients

This water-soluble orange dye imparts warm shades to liquid and powder detergents, rinse aids, and dishwashing products. It is easy to process and ideal for applications needing vibrant visual appeal with good formulation compatibility.

CAPTIVATES™ GL ENCAPSULATES are encapsulates containing a matrix structure, produced using JetCutter™ Technology — rotating cutting wires that create hydrogel beads from a continuous jet of viscous fluid. The resulting droplets are transformed into solidified beads through various gelation techniques including thermal gelation and ion exchange — producing a uniform bead matrix that can contain high levels of encapsulated material. Naturally derived materials such as agar, gellan gum, alginate and carrageenan are used as the matrix material. Captivates GL encapsulates are produced in sizes ranging from 250 μm to 3000 μm in diameter and can be used to encapsulate a wide range of materials including oils, pigments, abrasives and harmless bacteria. Delivery triggers include dilution, pressure and pH.

ACRYLIDONE LM is a high molecular weight, film-forming anionic terpolymer composed of vinylpyrrolidone and an acrylate backbone with a hydrophobic pendant C-12 chain. It is insoluble in ethanol and water until neutralized for easy dispersion. It exhibits synergistic thickening when combined with associative rheology modifiers.

PVP K-12 SOLUTION is a hygroscopic, amorphous polymer supplied as a clear aqueous solution. It can be plasticized with water and most common organic plasticizers. It is considered to be physiologically inert. This product is cross-linkable to a water insoluble, swellable material either in the course of vinylpyrrolidone polymerization, by addition of an appropriate multifunctional comonomer or by post-reaction, typically through hydrogen abstraction chemistry.
