Hydrophobic Fumed Silica For Nail Polish | China Project

Project details

  • Application: Nail Polish
  • Product Name: HB-151
  • Location: Guangdong Province, China
  • Problem: Company D is using an international brand of hydrophobic fumed silica 972, they would like to find a china-made fumed silica product to replace it for cost-efficient purpose.

Solution

Functions of HIFULL fumed silica in nail polish: Fumed silica eliminates pigment settling, improves flow and leaving properties of nail polish, and keeps color clarity and uniform appearance when applied. It is a vital additive raw material for nail polish.

Nail polish is classified as water-based and solvent-based. Solvent-based products use polyurethane, nitrocellulose, epoxy as the main ingredient. While water-based nail polish uses water-based polyurethane, and water-based polyacrylate in the formula. Nail polish is composed of 70%-80% volatile solvent or water, a small amount of camphor, titanium dioxide, etc. Nail polish needs to add fumed silica for better performance in thickening and thixotropy.

Client Feedback

Customer did sample test by adding HIFULL HB-151 into their formula to replace the international brand one, results show that the thixotropic and anti-settling performance is almost as good. Now they are doing pilot scale test, once passed, HIFULL HB-151 is their quality and cost-efficient choice.
