PLASDON K29/32 polymer by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a rheology modifier. It is a stable, water-soluble polyvinylpyrrolidone that meets U.S., European and Japanese pharmacopoeia specifications for Povidone. It forms complexes with catechins, just as it does with many other compounds that cause discoloration of teeth. The polymer can be effectively used to bind and remove stains through hydrogen bonding with chemical compounds.

ULTRATHIX P-100 polymer thickener is a multi-functional rheology modifier. This thickener allows formulators to create quick-break textures due to its shear-thinning rheology and refreshing sensory perception. In skin care formulas, this thickener offers emulsion stabilization, reduces tack, and improves aethetics of hydroalcoholic sprays, and enhances skin feel properites. The unique ability of this thickener to supend pigments, especially titanium dioxide, makes it ideal to use in foundations, mascaras and other color and sunscreen applications to enhance stability and esthtetics.

RAPITHIX A 100 polymer by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a rheology modifier and emollient-based dispersant. It provides soft & smooth feel, formulation flexibility and high solid content for higher efficiency. It is easy to use, shear-tolerant and effective at low usage levels. Suitable for use in cold-mix processes and can be post-added to adjust viscosity after emulsion formation and cooling.

ISP - ULTRATHIX 21 is self-wetting rheology modifier with improved electrolyte tolerance, excellent sensorial properties, emulsion stabilization and hydroalcoholic systems
