Benzyl Alcohol
Benzyl Alcohol is an aromatic alcohol with a mild pleasant odor and clear, colorless liquid appearance. It serves as a versatile solvent, preservative, and intermediate in chemical synthesis. Benzyl Alcohol is widely used across pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paints, coatings, and as a bacteriostatic agent in injectable drugs. Its relatively low toxicity and good solvent properties make it valuable in both industrial and consumer products.
Benzyl Konium Chloride
Benzyl Konium Chloride (BAC) 50% is a quaternary ammonium compound with potent antimicrobial and disinfectant properties. It is a cationic surfactant widely used for its bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal effects. This clear to pale yellow liquid concentrate is highly soluble in water and is commonly used in healthcare, sanitation, and industrial hygiene applications. BAC 50% solutions serve as active ingredients in disinfectants, sanitizers, and antiseptics due to their effectiveness against a broad spectrum of microorganisms.
Binder
A binder is a broad category of substances—organic or inorganic—used to hold different materials together in a cohesive mass. Common binders include natural polymers (starch, cellulose derivatives, proteins), synthetic resins (PVA, acrylics, phenolics), and inorganic binders (clays, cement, lime). They are essential in industries such as pharmaceuticals, construction, coatings, ceramics, adhesives, and printing, where they provide structural integrity, adhesion, and controlled release properties.
Glycerol Monostearate Flakes
Glycerol Monostearate Flakes is a white to off-white waxy flake form emulsifier composed of 40% monoglycerides of fatty acids, primarily stearic and palmitic acids, combined with other glycerides and esters. Derived mainly from vegetable oils, this food-grade emulsifier is widely utilized in food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors for its multifunctional properties. GMS 40% flakes serve as effective emulsifiers, stabilizers, anti-caking agents, and texture enhancers, with excellent compatibility and versatility in formulations requiring semi-solid or solid fats.
Illipe Butter
Illipe Butter is a natural, hard vegetable fat derived from the nuts of the Shorea stenoptera tree, native to the rainforests of Borneo. Known for its high melting point and rich moisturizing profile, Illipe Butter is prized in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food applications for its emollient qualities and stability. It closely resembles cocoa butter in composition and function, making it a sustainable alternative in formulations requiring consistency and long shelf life. The butter appears as a pale yellow to off-white solid with a mild, neutral aroma.
Sodium Propyl Paraben
Sodium Propyl Paraben is the sodium salt of propylparaben, a white to off-white crystalline powder or granule with the chemical formula C₁₀H₁₂NaO₃. It is a water-soluble antimicrobial preservative used extensively in personal care, pharmaceutical, and food products. Packaged in 25kg containers, it offers excellent stability and effectiveness over a wide pH range. Its antifungal and antibacterial properties make it a reliable choice for preventing microbial contamination and extending shelf life.
Squalene Oil
Squalene Oil is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon derived primarily from olive oil, sugarcane, or deep-sea shark liver. Its light, silicone‑like texture and excellent emollient properties make it highly valued in skin and hair care applications. Squalene is known for its deep moisturizing, antioxidant, and regenerative abilities, aiding in skin barrier repair and supporting hydration without comedogenic effects. Widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations, it is also included in nutraceuticals and pharmaceutical excipient systems for its biocompatibility and stability.
Veegum
Veegum is a purified magnesium aluminum silicate clay known for its excellent suspending, thickening, and stabilizing properties. It is widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial applications as a rheology modifier, suspension stabilizer, and emulsifier. Veegum enhances the texture, consistency, and stability of formulations, providing improved performance in both liquid and semi-solid systems.
