description

BDO - 1, 4 Butanediol

Butanediol intermediate is a versatile diol precursor to numerous derivatives such as esters, carbamates, polyesters and urethanes. It is used mainly as a co-monomer in classical diol-condensation reactions with terephthalic acid to produce polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), with diisocyanates to produce polyurethanes and with diacids to yield polyesters with biodegradability characteristics. BDO is also used as an intermediate to make polyurethane that is used in auto bumpers and dash boards. Butanediol intermediate’s reactive sites are its hydroxyl groups, which undergo all the typical reactions of alcohols. In addition to the condensation reactions noted above, it can be converted to simple esters and halides, dehydrated to tetrahydrofuran (THF) and dehydrogenated to gamma-butyrolactone.

benecel™ mx modified cellulose

for plant based foods The growing popularity of plant based foods and meat alternatives has spurred innovation in end applications, ingredients and textures. Although products are usually suitable for vegetarian or vegans, they may also appeal to a wider audience. Some of the broader motivations for eating plant based proteins include those seeking variety in their diet, concern for animal welfare, allergen avoidance, a desire to reduce the amount of meat that they consume or taste preference. The right hydrocolloid helps you deliver a product with the desired eating quality and texture. Because of their versatility, hydrocolloidscan help deliver sensory and functional benefits. Formulators use hydrocolloids to replicate the bite of a meat-based product, improve moisture retention, improve binding or help replace an allergic binder, like eggs. Some applications require low temperature gelling properties. That’s why we developed Benecel™ MX modified cellulose (methylcellulose). Benecel™ MX modified cellulose is specially formulated for meat alternative and vegetable-based applications. It can provide a firm bite for products meant to simulate meat products, binding to replace eggs, and can help retain moisture to provide an enjoyable eating experience. features and benefits: Benecel™ MX modified cellulose creates a thermo-reversible gel unique grade of modified cellulose gels at ~40°C regular grades gel at 50–60°C Benecel™ MX modified cellulose exhibits high viscosity 2% MC in water has 37,500 - 70,000 mPa∙s viscosity provides binding and helps formulations hold shape at cold temperatures modified cellulose is plant-derived suitable for vegan applications molecular structure has hydrophilic and hydrophobic areas stabilizes fat and water to retain moisture in finished product optional replacement of fat with water Benecel™ MX modified cellulose can replicate a solid fat with liquid oils facilitates formula and cost flexibility

CAVAMAX* native cyclodextrins

The molecular structure of cyclodextrins creates a bucket-like cavity that can complex with molecules or functional groups on molecules to improve solubility of poorly soluble compounds.

The molecular structure of cyclodextrins creates a bucket-like cavity that can function to complex with molecules or functional groups on molecules. The substitution of hydroxyl groups on native cyclodextrins to make hydroxypropyl-ß- cyclodextrins (HPBCD) significantly enhances their solubility and makes them more suitable for drug solubilization. This mechanism makes the cavitron™ HPBCDs capable of masking unpleasant taste/odor and stabilizing drugs that are prone to degradation, and also can increase solubility of poorly soluble compounds. Purification of the cavitron™ cyclodextrins to remove endotoxins allows their use for solubilization of drugs for parenteral drug products.

culminal™ UP 1268 modified methylhydroxyethylcellulose

introducing culminal™ UP 1268 modified methylhydroxyethylcellulose (MHEC), an enhanced performing additive for premium quality cementitious tile adhesives (CTA) description The trend in the construction industry is for larger tiles and more significant amounts of low carbon footprint cement, which requires formulations with longer open time, leading to greater adhesion to the wall. These functional attributes are among many in achieving superior performance for today's cementitious tile adhesives (CTA). Ashland addresses these performance gaps with its latest innovation, culminal™ UP 1268 modified MHEC. Using concepts for culminal™ PLUS and culminal™ UP, Ashland integrated multiple advanced technologies to create an enhanced product through hybrid technology. Culminal UP™ 1268 modified MHEC delivers the best of both technologies, specifically excellent wetting properties and high early and final adhesion strength. This modification can be used in regular and fast-set CTA. key features and benefits low impact on cement hydration early and final tensile strength optimized visual open time good wetting performance workability sag resistance improved setting time even at low temperatures cost effective reduction of cost in use by reducing/eliminating additional accelerators       

culminal™ UP modified methylhydroxyethylcellulose

culminal™ UP modified methylhydroxyethylcellulose for premium cementitious adhesives Culminal™ UP (Ultimate Performance) modified methylhydroxyethylcellulose is a new concept of modified methyl cellulose derivatives used in premium cementitious adhesive formulations (e.g. tile adhesives, ETICS adhesives). There are a number of key performance gaps in today’s formulations, which are addressed with the Culminal™ UP modified methylhydroxyethylcellulose concept such as: faster strength development higher final tensile strength excellent workability & sag resistance improved setting at low temperatures cost savings due to reduction / elimination of accelerators and opportunity to reformulate towards different binder types (e.g. CEM II) and/or levels culminal™ UP offers improved strength development minimal impact on cement hydration Many commonly used additives such as cellulose ethers, redispersible polymer powders, starch ethers and other functional additives have a negative impact on the setting profile of ordinary portland cement-based systems. Furthermore, the use of composite cements is growing due to their lower carbon dioxide footprint (CEM II, CEM III). This trend can also negatively impact strength development. Culminal™ UP modified methylhydroxyethylcellulose has been developed with one aim: to have as little impact on cement hydration as possible, ensuring high early and final tensile strength values while still providing excellent sag resistance and workability. To achieve this Ashland uses a new methylcellulose chemistry, which is optimized to achieve the ultimate performance. reduction or elimination of set accelerators To overcome the negative effects described earlier many formulations are accelerated e.g. with calcium formate. This adds another costly component into formulations. Ashland has proven that significant reduction or elimination of accelerators can be achieved using culminal™ UP modified methylhydroxyethylcellulose instead of regular modified methyl cellulose derivatives. This leads to simplification of formulations and can result in significant overall formulation cost savings. The graph shows 4 formulations comparing culminal™ with culminal™ UP with and without accelerator in the same formulation. As can be seen regular culminal™ shows the slowest setting and culminal™ UP leads to the fastest strength development. The curves of culminal™ UP shows almost the same strength development as regular culminal™ with additional use of calcium formate as accelerator. The choice of a different type of modified methylhydroxyethylcellulose can lead to drastic reduction of setting time, in this example by ca. 50%. The absolute setting time values depend on cement quality and overall formulation design. comparison of different modified methylhydroxyethylcellulose chemistries in light weight CTA at 5°C Early and final strengths development in CTA is significantly improved by using Culminal™ UP modified methylhydroxyethylcellulose. This offers room for cement or RDP reduction or use of lower cost cement (CEM II, CEM III). strength development at lower temperatures As the speed of cement hydration is also impacted by temperature, many formulations become very “slow” in colder conditions. Using Culminal™ UP faster strength development can be achieved at lower temperatures when compared to regular modified cellulose ethers used today. key benefits: faster strength development  highly efficient in cold climates higher final tensile strength overall formulation cost saving potential. Elimination of accelerator using Culminal UP modified methylhydroxyethylcellulose has led to 2-4% cost saving without impact on final product properties. advantages of culminal™ UP modified methylhydroxyethylcellulose available culminal™ UP grades culminal™ UP 1530 culminal™ UP 1540 culminal™ UP 1560 culminal™ UP 3010

Gantrez™AN copolymers contain alternating units of methylvinylether and maleic anhydride. The fundamental character of this polymerization requires that a maleic anhydride unit must be adjacent to a methylvinylether unit and vice versa, resulting in a true alternating copolymer. Gantrez AN (anhydride form) is available in the molecular weight range of 130M-2500M. The polymers are white, hygroscopic powders soluble in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and M-Pyrol™ solvent; insoluble in aliphatic and halogenated hydrocarbons. All four grades have a glass transition temperature of 151-154°C, independent of molecular weight and form transparent, tack-free films. Stabileze™ QM polymers are produced in a manner similar to that of Gantrez AN but with the added monomer decadiene present to yield a crosslinked, water-swellable resin. The polymer is a white, free-flowing powder with a glass transition temperature of approximately 150°C. The solid can be dispersed in water without coagulating, and the anhydride function will hydrolyze directly or through the action of base. A neutralized 0.5 percent solution in water at pH 7 and 25°C has a viscosity range of 45,000-70,000 cP. Gantrez S95 and S97 have repeating co-maleic acid units produced by hydrolysis of Gantrez AN. The polycarboxylic acid derivatives with a pH of ~2 at 5 percent concentration are available either as viscous solutions or white powders. The vicinal dicarboxylic acid functionality of these materials is useful in a number of applications. The free acid forms are water-soluble, giving clear and tacky films. Solution rheology can be modified by the addition of salts and bases. Ethyl, isopropyl and n-butyl half esters are produced by opening up the anhydride in alcohol. These polymers, based on AN-119, are sold as 50 percent solutions in ethanol or isopropanol. They are water soluble when neutralized greater than 40 percent using either an organic or inorganic base. Adhesive strength can be adjusted through controlling the degree of neutralization. Films are flexible, clear and glossy and have improved water resistance compared to Gantrez S.

Infini’tea™ is up to 10 times more concentrated in theanine than green or black tea. Theanine is known to act as an antagonist to glutamate found in industrial food, an excitotoxin that has been described to be responsible of worsening skin problems such as eczema. BDNF, the Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor is shown to decrease in different inflammatory states of the skin such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. The application of infini’tea, similarly to the practice of yoga helps to increase the expression of this factor in the skin.       

Inhibex™ gas hydrate inhibitors

Low Dose Hydrate Inhibitors (LDHIs), technology developed in the 1990s, significantly improved the options available to offshore operators in preventing type I, II and H gas hydrates, the ice-like crystals that left untreated will damage or rupture pipelines, valves and well heads located under water. These LDHIs, based on Poly VCap polymers, require less than 1 percent (wt.%) to prevent gas hydrates from forming in fields with high water cut. Inhibex™ 301 gas hydrate inhibitors, one of the first commercially available low-dose kinetic hydrate inhibitors from Ashland, remains as an alternative to thermodynamic hydrate inhibitors (THI) in some cases, and a booster to THI methods in other scenarios. Today, however, offshore oil and gas operators work within a larger spectrum of temperature and pressure conditions. Ashland has responded to requests from oilfield chemical formulators for new polymeric gas hydrate inhibitors that address more challenging operational conditions offshore (and changing regulatory requirements). The chemistry of Inhibex™ gas hydrate inhibitors continues to expand in support of higher cloud points, higher sub-cooling conditions and regulatory schemes that require the use of biodegradable chemicals.

Klucel™ MS hydroxypropylcellulose in marine coatings

who helps marine primers sail ahead of the rest? we do. Ashland launches Klucel™ MS, a new grade of hydroxypropyl cellulose as a thickener and anti-sagging agent for inorganic zinc rich primers. This brand new HPC technology enables a major improvement in dissolution speed in polar organic solvents, including methanol, isopropyl alcohol and xylene. Furthermore, the thickening efficiency has significantly improved compared to conventional HPCs. Zinc-rich primers are used to protect steel surfaces from corrosion, principally through cathodic galvanic protection. Inorganic zinc rich primers typically use a silicate binder to promote zinc adhesion to the surface. Inorganic zinc-rich primers often contain higher zinc levels versus organic zinc primers. The combination of higher zinc levels and reactive silicate binders may provide superior corrosion resistance compared to theirorganic counterparts. Klucel™ MS HPC is suitable for permanent and temporary coatings sprayed onto ship panels prior to welding: permanent inorganic zinc rich primers temporary inorganic zinc ‘shop’ primers (B part) benefits Klucel™ MS hydroxypropyl cellulose is a non-ionic water-soluble cellulose ether with a versatile combination of properties: designed for rapid dissolution in organic solvents provides highest thickening efficiency against chemistries commonly used as thickeners and anti-sagging agents for solvent based zinc-rich primers soluble in water and multiple polar organic solvents used to control viscosity and gives smooth and clear solution

Natrosol Performax™ hydroxyethylcellulose

Natrosol™ Performax hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) is a breakthrough paint-thickening technology. It comprises a range of hydroxyethylcellulose thickeners that delivers unprecedented process flexibility and quality control to paint manufacturers. The patented technology triggers rapid and complete dispersion in any water-based medium, even under low shear conditions. This allows manufacturers to add HEC in dry form at any point of the manufacturing process, eliminating extra process steps such as the preparation of pre-slurries or dissolutions of HEC, saving operational costs. The end result is a faster, more efficient, less costly production process. In addition, Natrosol Performax thickeners enhance paint quality and preserve critical performance characteristics, such as efficient thickening, stability, color compatibility and sag resistance. Ashland's Natrosol thickeners have been the leading HEC thickeners for waterborne architectural coatings for more than 50 years. The line includes the original Natrosol HEC, for multiple uses; Natrosol B HEC, for enzyme-resistant architectural coatings; Natrosol Plus hydrophobically modified hydroxyethylcellulose (HMHEC), offering outstanding spatter resistance and improved high-shear viscosity, and Natrosol FPS™ fluidized polymer suspensions, for customers needing solvent-free liquid versions.  

natrosol™ / natrovis hydroxyethylcellulose

Natrosol™ & natrovis hydroxyethylcellulose are largely used as thickeners for joint compounds and other ready-to-use building materials. Hydroxyethylcellulose is offered in different viscosity levels (molecular weights), particle size distribution and are available as regular HEC or more enzyme resistant HEC. You also have the choice to use retarded solubly types, which simplify preparation of solutions and incorporation into the final products. Next to ready-to-use systems like joint compounds or synthetic plasters natrosol™ and natrovis products are used in dry mortars e.g. for stabilization of self-leveling underlayments or anti-bleeding agent in underwater concrete.

This product is easily dispersed in cold or hot water to give solutions of varying viscosities and desired properties, though it is insoluble in organic solvents. It is used in solutions and gels to control rheology, in emulsions for high-salt tolerance and surfactant compatibility, and in modified-release matrix tablets where high-viscosity grades provide effective diffusion-limiting release of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) with low water solubility.

natrosol™ b hydroxyethylcellulose

Natrosol™ B hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) delivers all the benefits of standard Natrosol HEC, but in addition, offers enzyme resistance (biostability). This best-in-class, bio-resistant HEC will maintain stability even in the presence of cellulose enzyme produced by microbial activity. Natrosol B HEC grades for paints and coatings applications are typically glyoxylated (R-treated) for ease of incorporation. In latex architectural paints, Natrosol B HEC is know for superior color performance, stability, shear-thinning, application properties and sag resistance.

Natrosol™ FPS fluidized polymer suspension

Natrosol™ FPS fluidized polymer suspensions are solvent-free liquid versions of Natrosol hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC). Virtually all viscosity grades of Natrosol commonly used in paint and coatings, including Regular, B-types and Natrosol Plus, are also available in a fluidized (FPS) version. HEC polymer is pre-dispersed in a stabilized aqueous media, creating an easy-to-handle, pourable, pumpable liquid cellulosic thickener. Natrosol FPS can be easily added to the grind, but is most advantageous when added directly to the let-down stage of paint making, where it readily disperses and incorporates quickly without lumping. FPS is also commonly used as a post-thickener to adjust the final viscosity of finished batches.

natrosol™ plus 330 and polysurf™ 67 cetyl modified hydroxyethylcellulose

Cetyl Hydroxyethylcellulose (HMHEC)

Hydrophobically modified hydroxyethylcellulose (HMHEC) is made in a two-step reaction. The first is the standard reaction of alkali-cellulose with ethylene oxide to produce HEC. The second step is a cetyl substitution, which provides the hydrophobic end groups. The resultant nonionic polymer is purified and dried. HMHEC for personal care and cosmetic applications is sold as natrosol™ plus 330 cs and polysurf™ 67 cs.  HMHEC polymers are unique in that they function as associative thickeners, meaning they not only thicken aqueous systems via chain entanglement and conventional hydrogen bonding, but also via hydrophobe interactions. In solution, hydrophobe groups seek out other hydrophobes, including oils and pigments, forming weak interactions and effectively creating a three-dimensional polymer network. The hydrophobic modification imparts many unique properties to HMHEC polymers including pseudoplastic shear thinning behavior, high salt tolerance and long-term stability over a very wide pH range (3.5-11). Furthermore, HMHEC also behaves as a polymeric co-emulsifier and can be used to stabilize O/W emulsions without the use of conventional high HLB, water-soluble surfactants, thus removing the major component leading to skin irritation and enabling a much milder formulation.

natrosol™ plus hydrophobically modified hydroxyethylcellulose

Natrosol™ Plus hydrophobically modified hydroxyethylcellulose (HMHEC) delivers all the benefits of Natrosol B HEC along with outstanding spatter resistance and improved high-shear viscosity. Natrosol Plus HMHEC is an associative thickener and thickens through multiple mechanisms. In addition to the hydrogen-bonding and chain entanglement, typical of standard HEC, Natrosol Plus is hydrophobically modified and readily forms weak, three-dimensional networks via hydrophobe association. This associative thickening mechanism provides the best spatter resistance in the industry but does not suffer from the formulation sensitivity typical of synthetic associative thickeners (SATs). Natrosol Plus modified HEC is a white, free-flowing powder that is readily incorporated into paints. It is also available as a pumpable liquid as Natrosol Plus 330 fluidized polymer suspension.

PVP

Polyvinylpyrrolidone is a hygroscopic, amorphous polymer supplied as a white, free-flowing powder or a clear aqueous solution. Available in several molecular weight grades, they are characterized by K-value, and used in a great variety of applications. Polyvinylpyrrolidone can be plasticized with water and most common organic plasticizers. It is considered to be physiologically inert:  Applications take advantage of one or more properties inherent in the polymer, typically due to the lactam ring. High polarity and the resultant propensity to form complexes with hydrogen donors, such as phenols and carboxylic acids, as well as anionic dyes and inorganic salts. Dispersancy, where components in a mixture are uniformly distributed through the use of polyvinylpyrrolidone. Hydrophilicity, where the substantial water solubility of polyvinylpyrrolidone is its dominant feature and frequently a factor along with other properties valuable to numerous applications. Adhesion, taking advantage of the higher molecular weight polyvinylpyrrolidones formulating in aqueous media, then evaporating sufficient water to generate a solid product for the desired application. Cohesivity, where cohesive strength is achieved through a variety of dry blending and granulation techniques. Polyvinylpyrrolidone 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 polymers

Polyvinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate (pvp/va) resins are linear, random copolymers produced by the free-radical polymerization of the monomers in ratios varying from 70/30 to 30/70 vinyl acetate to vinylpyrrolidone. Pvp/va copolymers are available as white powders or clear solutions in ethanol, isopropanol and water. Polymers in the four ranges of vinylpyrrolidone content (30, 50, 60 and 70 percent), are produced in ethanol or isopropanol.

v-cap™ vinyl caprolactam

V-Cap™ vinyl caprolactam is a pale yellow crystalline solid stabilized with 10 ppm N,N’-di-sec-butyl p-phenylenediamine. Polymers synthesized from V-Cap vinyl caprolactam are significantly more hydrophobic than their V-Pyrol vinyl pyrrolidone analogs but still exhibit the adhesiveness, strength and complexing capability characteristic of the lactam functionality.  V-Cap vinyl caprolactam is a supercooled liquid and can remain as a liquid at room temperature for extended periods. Rapid, exothermic crystallization under these conditions should not be confused with bulk polymerization. V-Cap RC vinyl caprolactam accelerates UV curing rates as the reactive diluent. Typically formulated with an acrylate oligomer, it imparts unique solution viscosity reduction and enhanced adhesion to non-polar substrates. The activated double bond of V-Cap vinyl caprolactam facilitates its use in free radical homo- and copolymerizations and grafting reactions. The products of these reactions are either linear or crosslinked homopolymers and nonionic, anionic and cationic copolymers.  Polymers from V-Cap vinyl caprolactam are amorphous, and the caprolactam ring imparts hydrophobicity, adhesiveness, strength and complexing capability.

zenix™ 4617 phosphate ester surfactant

Oleth-5 Phosphate

Zenix™ phosphate ester surfactant is a free-acid form of an ethoxylated alcohol phosphate ester. It is designed to be used as a co-surfactant in conditioning shampoos for bleached or virgin hair. In combination with cationic guar, this phosphate ester improves wet and dry detangling properties and reduces friction, imparting a smooth and silky feel to dry hair. Zenix™ phosphate ester surfactant allows flexibility to product a clear shampoo when it is used in combination with conditioning polymers such as n-hance™ ccg 45 cationic guar. Silicone-free formulations using this product can be made without a suspending agent and that saves production time, decreases formulation cost and decreases the potential for interaction between the cationic conditioning agent and the anionic suspending agent. Typical use levels range from 2 to 4 percent. Zenix™ phosphate ester surfactant does not contain alkyl phenol ethoxylates (APEOs).
