Hydamer™ CMF is a high molecular biopolymer of marine origin. It has excellent film-forming properties for skin care.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Usage
Formulations with Hydamer™ CMF should be adjusted to a pH value of < 6.0 as the product is only soluble in acidic pH range. Hydamer™ CMF is not sensitive regarding high temperatures and can be added before the emulsification to the hot water phase. The product is incompatible with all anionic combinations and limited with systems which must be neutralized with alkali.
