Fomblin® HC Classic PFPE

Fomblin® HC Classic PFPEs can be incorporated into almost any cosmetic technical form.

In the case of emulsions, its use does not have major implications in the processing techniques.

The discovery that Fomblin® HC Classic perfluoropolyethers form extremely fine and stable dispersions in glycerin represents a major step in simplifying their incorporation into creams and lotions, in obtaining more stable monophase translucent gels and shampoos and in the preparation of multiple emulsions.

Fomblin® HC Functional PFPE

Fomblin® HC Functional PFPEs broaden the application potential of perfluoropolyethers in the cosmetic field.

Fomblin® HC/P2-1000 PFPE allows the preparation of hydro-alcoholic/glycolic solutions, transparent gels, self-preserved products and innovative superfluid sprayable emulsions and gel-emulsions, besides long lasting make-up products.

By using Fomblin® HC/SA-18 PFPE, lipogels, sticks, soap bars can be obtained.

Finally, Fomblin® HC/OH-1000 PFPE finds application in loose/compact powders and liquid foundations.
