Dimethicone (Silicon Oil)
Dimethicone, also known as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) or silicone oil, is a clear, odorless, and non-volatile silicone-based polymer widely used for its lubricating, anti-foaming, water-repellent, and skin-conditioning properties. It is a linear silicone polymer composed of repeating dimethylsiloxane units. Dimethicone exhibits excellent thermal stability, chemical inertness, and low surface tension, making it highly versatile in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, personal care, industrial, and food applications. It is available in various viscosities, from very low to high viscosity oils, enabling tailored formulations.
Galaxy MW (Lutensol)
Galaxy MW (Lutensol), also known commercially as Lutensol A07, is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of ethoxylated alcohols. It is synthesized by ethoxylation of C7 fatty alcohols, resulting in a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) suitable for versatile applications in detergency, emulsification, wetting, and dispersing. This liquid surfactant is valued for its excellent surface-active properties, biodegradability, low toxicity, and compatibility with other formulation ingredients. It is widely used in industrial, household, agricultural, and personal care products to improve formulation stability and performance.
Hydrocarbon Resins Petroleum
Hydrocarbon Resins Petroleum are synthetic petroleum-derived resins produced through the polymerization of C5 (pentene) and C9 (nonene) fraction monomers. These resins appear as pale yellow to amber solid materials, usually in pellet or flake form, characterized by tackifying and adhesive properties. C5 resins are derived from aliphatic hydrocarbons, while C9 resins originate from aromatic hydrocarbons. Often blended, these resins provide a balance of hardness, tackiness, and compatibility with various polymers. Widely used as tackifiers, binders, and modifiers, C5 & C9 hydrocarbon resins enhance performance in adhesives, coatings, rubber compounding, and more.
Hydrogenated Castor Oil
Hydrogenated Castor Oil (HCO), also known as castor wax, is a solid, waxy derivative obtained by the hydrogenation of castor oil. It appears as a white to off-white, brittle, wax-like solid with a mild odor. The hydrogenation process saturates the unsaturated bonds in castor oil’s fatty acids, resulting in a product with enhanced melting point, oxidative stability, and hardness. HCO retains excellent emollient and lubricating properties while exhibiting improved resistance to oxidation and rancidity. It is widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, plastics, coatings, and industrial applications for its functional versatility and compatibility.
