For cosmetic chemists seeking an all-in-one solution for their personal cleansing formulations, Ashland has launched SurfaThix N polymer. The acrylate-based material enables formulators to maintain clarity and viscosity while maximizing manufacturing efficiencies through continuous processing, according to the company.
Compared to benchmarked technology, SurfaThix N polymer had viscosity and clarity, while demonstrating formulation stabilization. In prototype formulations containing beads, SurfaThix N polymer provides suspension performance similar to the conventional benchmark. Further, a single-step neutralization process for neutral pH formulations helps to minimize batch processing time and affords its use in continuous manufacturing processes.
