Overview
Applecare PDS-300 is a COSMOS-approved advanced dispersing system for uncoated, hydrophilic color pigments, allowing formulators to disperse them into oil at eye-popping concentrations. This dispersing effect is so dramatic that formulators can use just a small amount of Applecare PDS-300 to reduce viscosity build-up in color cosmetic formulations with high amounts of pigment powder. Internal loading tests have shown that using just 2.25% of Applecare PDS-300 can help disperse over 70% pigment grade titanium dioxide in capric/caprylic triglyceride, while still remaining very liquid and homogenous. Furthermore, the switch from surface-treated pigments to uncoated pigments represents significant cost savings as well creating more flexibility in your supply chain.
Applications and Use
Effectively disperse color pigments and mineral UV filters in both color cosmetic and sun care formulations. Replace petroleum-sourced synthetic coatings with Applecare PDS-300-treated uncoated pigments to make your products far more eco- friendly. Reduces both carbon footprint (no chemical waste byproducts!) and formulation costs. Alternatively, you can significantly increase pre- treated pigment performance with PDS-300. Shorten overall processing time and lower energy costs. Certified as a natural product by COSMOS..
