KLUCEL H CS has excellent film-forming properties and thickens non-aqueous systems and provide lubricious skin feel. Klucel™ CS Grade is a nonionic, water-soluble cellulose ether with a versatile combination of properties. It combines solubility in aqueous and polar organic solvents, thermoplasticity, and surface activity with the thickening and stabilizing properties of other water-soluble cellulose polymers. HPC films are flexible without plasticizers and non-tacky at high humidity.

PVP/VA S-630 by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a film forming agent. It is a linear and random polyvinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate (PVP/VA) copolymer. It offers strong & stiff hold, enhanced high humidity curl retention and good propellant compatibility.

PVP K-120 by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a film former and stabilizer. It is a hygroscopic and amorphous polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer. It stabilizes foam, emulsions, dispersions and suspensions. It offers a range of viscosities that are supplied as either powders or aqueous solutions. It forms clear, hard, shiny and glossy films. It provides strong & stiff hold and excellent compatibility with acrylate thickeners.

PLASDONE™ S-630 POLYMER is a pharmaceutical oral care polymer which has excellent bioadhesion properties and is a tougher, more flexible film former than PVP. Plasdone™ S-630 VP/VA copolymer acts as a tablet binder in denture cleanser tablets.
