Personal Care Ingredients

POLYSURF 67 cetyl hydroxyethylcellulose by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a thickener, binder, stabilizer, film-former, and as a suspension agent. It is a nonionic water-soluble polymer that contains both hydroxyethyl and long-chain alkyl groups. It is known to associate with the hydrophobic groups of surfactants and other formulation ingredients.

ISP - PVP/VA 635 by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a film forming agent. It forms transparent, flexible and oxygen permeable films which adhere to glass, plastic and metal. It offers strong & stiff hold, enhanced high humidity curl retention and good propellant compatibility. 

PVP K-15 SOLUTION is a hygroscopic, amorphous polymer supplied as a clear aqueous solution. It can be plasticized with water and most common organic plasticizers. It is considered to be physiologically inert. This product is cross-linkable to a water insoluble, swellable material either in the course of vinylpyrrolidone polymerization, by addition of an appropriate multifunctional comonomer or by post-reaction, typically through hydrogen abstraction chemistry. 

 PVP-VA E-335 by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a film forming agent. It is a 50% solution of linear and random polyvinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate (PVP/VA) copolymer in ethanol. It is produced by the free-radical polymerization of monomers in the ratio of 30/70 (VP/VA). It forms transparent, flexible and oxygen permeable films which adhere to glass, plastic and metal. It offers strong & stiff hold, enhanced high humidity curl retention and good propellant compatibility.
