May 2021:

The Lubrizol corporation had developed a water-soluble biopolymer that is named Kelco-cre diutan gum which is specifically designed for cosmetics and personal care products. Since these applications demand thermal stability and are compatible with high-level alcohols and polyols and are considered biodegradable. This formulation offered features such as a ‘no-drip’ feature for the hair formulations, silky and conditioned sensory, excellent formulation flexibility, and a very efficient viscosity builder.

June 2021:

Ashland has introduced Aquaflow Eco- 300 which is considered the biocide-free and non-ionic thickener which is designed for waterborne coatings. These coatings are highly specific and specially designed for marine vehicles. The chemical characteristics which achieve its efficiency through self-association and interaction with the other ingredients are considered exceptional in the market.
