Carbomer is a high-molecular-weight, nonlinear, crosslinked acrylic polymer. It is typically produced by polymerizing acrylic acid monomers and forming a three-dimensional crosslinked structure through a small amount of polyalkenyl polyether crosslinking agent.
In the personal care and household care industry, K12 usually refers to sodium lauryl sulfate, SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate). In chemical literature, it is also commonly referred to as SDS (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate).
In the production of cleansing products such as shampoos, body washes, hand soaps, and dishwashing detergents, AES is one of the commonly used primary surfactants. During winter production, many factories encounter a practical problem: after AES arrives, it becomes thickened, forms lumps, cannot ...
In skincare products, facial cleansers, soaps, laundry powders, kitchen cleaners, toothpaste, hair dyes, and depilatory products, alkaline ingredients such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, triethanolamine, ammonia water, and calcium hydroxide are ...
Many stability problems in home and personal care products do not come only from the main active ingredients, surfactants, or fragrances themselves, but from an unsuitable solvent and solubilization system design. A transparent hand wash may become cloudy after fragrance is added; a serum may ...
Polyquaterniums are commonly listed in cosmetic ingredient declarations in the form of “Polyquaternium-number,” such as Polyquaternium-7, Polyquaternium-10, Polyquaternium-22, Polyquaternium-37, and Polyquaternium-55. In the industry, PQ is often used as the abbreviation for Polyquaternium.
In laundry detergents, automatic dishwasher detergents, and hard-surface cleaners, many cleaning problems are not caused by surfactants completely failing to remove soils. Instead, the soils may be detached from the surface and enter the wash liquor, but they are not kept under stable control. ...
In personal care and household cleansing products such as shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, hand soaps, and similar formulations, many people may interpret the word “betaine” on an ingredient list as referring to one single ingredient. In actual formulations, however, it may refer to ...
Most daily chemical products are water-based systems. Water, inorganic salts, surfactants, plant extracts, fragrances, colorants, fillers, production equipment, storage tanks, pipelines, and packaging materials may all introduce metal ions into a formulation.
