To address consumers’ ever-growing need for effective, instant anti-aging beauty products, we are introducing Flexan® II polymer for skin care formulations. Flexan® II polymer forms a film that quickly lifts and tightens the skin, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in anti-aging formulations.

Across the Asia Pacific region, skincare is gaining traction more rapidly than any other beauty industry segment. This is because skincare occupies a niche amid varied consumer demands and trends. These include the consumers’ demand for health-boosting self-care products, their interest in regimens and routines, and their ability and desire to use social media to educate and empower themselves. Moreover, ingredients, texture and format play a key role in beauty products, to deliver aesthetic pleasure, efficacy and a sensory experience. Amid this pandemic, consumers are keen on the active ingredients used in the products for a meaningful rejuvenation of their skin. So, what is Nouryon up to for the ever-demanding customers? The answer is a new Hydrovance version.

Perkadox AIBN, 2,2'-Azodi(isobutyronitrile), CAS 78-67-1, AZO initiator, We offer azo initiators, such as Perkadox® AIBN (azobisisobutyronitrile) and Perkadox® AMBN (2-methylbutyronitrile), for bulk, solution, suspension and emulsion polymerization of a wide variety of monomers, such as styrene, vinylchloride, vinylidenechloride, acrylonitrile, acrylates and methacrylates. Our most commonly used initiator is AIBN, but our AMBN provides even better solubility than AIBN. Advantages of AIBN initiators: Azo initiators have many advantages over standard organic peroxides, such as the fact that they form no oxygenated byproducts and provide low yellow discoloration. Azo initiators generate only C-centered radicals, which are low energy and very selective and cause a low amount of branching. This provides low Poly Dispersity Index (PDI) values and molecular weights. Perkadox® AIBN does not form oxygenated residues and does not cause oxidative degradation of pigmented of dyed polymer systems. For this reason, the color stability or transparent, dyed polymers, such as polymethylmethacrylate, is improved. AIBN and other azo initiators provide excellent color stability in transparent colored polymers, such as PMMA. They do not form oxygenated residues and do not cause oxidative degradation of pigmented or dyed systems. Compared with organic peroxides, azo initiators avoid excessive grafting, making them particularly suitable for use in manufacturing acrylic cast and moulded sheets, as well as adhesives, acrylic fibers, super absorbers, detergents and flocculants. Our most commonly used initiator is AIBN, but our AMBN provides even better solubility than AIBN. Perkadox® AIBN can also be used for pharmaceutical and fine organic synthesis. Our Trigonox 421 provides similar technical performance and is a sustainable alternative for AIBN. An additional advantage of Trigonox 421 is that all decomposition products that are generated are non-toxic, which is in contrast to AIBN which forms toxic TMSN.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a relatively strong oxidizing agent used in the bleaching of both mechanical and chemical pulps and other industrial solutions. Other uses include hard surface disinfectants and oxidizers.
