HFGEL 120-FX is an organoclay for solvent-based systems of low to medium polarity.

Staybelite® Ester 5 rosin is the glycerol ester of partially hydrogenated gum rosin, specially processed for superior taste and odour characteristics. It is a pale, thermoplastic rosin with excellent resistance to oxidation and discoloration. Its principal use is in chewing gum bases where it imparts masticatory properties in combination with polymers and other ingredients. The oxidation resistance of Staybelite Ester 5 resin helps finished chewing gums retain chewability, consistency and flavour throughout their shelf lives.

Foral® 85 resin is a glycerol ester of hydrogentated gum rosin. It is an exceptionally pale, thermoplastic resin that has outstanding resistance to oxidation and to discoloration caused by heat and ageing. It can be used in a wide array of adhesive tackifier applications and in protective/barrier type coatings where light color and oxidation resistance are needed.

AEROSIL® E 805 is a fumed silica after-treated with an organosilane. It provides extraordinary rheological properties by maintaining brilliant transparency. It is very easy to disperse.

AEROSIL® R 972 W Coating is a fumed silica aftertreated with DDS (Dimethyldichlorosilane). The product thickening efficiency of AEROSIL® R 972 W Coating ex RHE is consistent with the Waterford-produced AEROSIL® R 972. This profile is dif- ferent than the thickening profile of standard RHE quality.

HECTGEL RD is a synthetic layered silicate consisting of Li, Mg and Si. Its structure is constituted by two layers of Si-O tetrahedron with one layer of Mg-O octahedron. It can hydrate with water and swell to form clear and colorless colloidal dispersions. Highly thixotropic gels can be formed at concentrations of 2% or more and these gels demonstrate highly shear thinning behavior. HECTGEL RD is used where a shear sensitive waterborne gel structure is desired, having high viscosity under low shear and low viscosity when exposed to high shear. Upon removal of shear the gel viscosity is quickly recovered.

Citroflex™ A-4 is a low molecular weight citric acid ester partially derived from bio-based raw materials.

CAPMUL® S12L is the partially neutralized condensation product of lauric acid and lactic acid. It is used both in hair care and skin care, providing an additional skin conditioning effect. CAPMUL® S12L is an environmentally friendly replacement for alkanolamides providing rheology control as well as giving aesthetically pleasing dense, creamy foam. Due to the high foaming character of CAPMUL® S12L, it may be employed as a primary surfactant in sulfate-free formulations or used as a secondary surfactant to add additional benefits. CAPMUL® S12L is an excellent emulsifier in creams and lotions, providing an alpha-hydroxy acid benefit at lower pH.

MIRASIL PEG 12 DM is a water soluble polyether modified polysiloxane used as emollient for personal care. In addition this product may be used as foam booster, emulsifier, plasticizing agent and wetting agent for personal care products.

TERMUL® 1285 Emulsifier is Polyoxyethylene fatty glyceride.

SIPERNAT® 22 S is a silica with a high absorption capacity used as a flow and anti­caking agent in many applications as well as a special­ purpose ingredient for mechanical graphic papers. In plant protection, this product is recommended as a carrier in solid formulations such as wettable powders (WP) and water- dispersible granules (WG) if grinding has to be avoided. SIPERNAT® represents a specific product range of precipitated silica, aluminium and calcium silicates.
