"Novemer EC-1 offers many very substantial benefits to our customers,"
says Annie Bourgeat-Wax, Noveon New Business Development Manager, Personal
Care and Pharmaceuticals. Novemer EC-1 Polymer is easy to use and does not
require either neutralization or HLB calculation. In addition, it is an
excellent primary or secondary emulsifier, thickener and stabilizer that
provides improved electrolyte tolerance and unique sensory benefits.
"From the formulator's perspective, Novemer EC-1 Polymer is easy to use
since it is a liquid, while providing superb polymer robustness," Bourgeat-Wax
says. "Novemer EC-1 Polymer maintains its integrity in the presence of
electrolytes and can withstand strenuous processing conditions, such as high
temperature and shear without any effect on performance. For marketers of
personal care products, this new polymer helps to create a formulation with
unique and identifiable sensory characteristics. It can help to create a
light and pleasurable skin feel that the consumer will prefer."
Noveon is a recognized leader in polymers for personal care products,
offering such well-known brands as Carbopol(R) and Pemulen(TM) polymers for
rheology control and emulsification. At the same time, the company is
aggressively expanding its array of products and technology platforms to grow
its personal care business.
"The development of new products such as Novemer EC-1 and Fixate(TM) G-100
Polymers is part of a global strategy to build on our product and technology
strengths and expand our personal care business," says Bill Sedlacek, Noveon
Senior Vice President and General Manager, Personal Care and Pharmaceuticals.
