SYNTRAN® 5900 is a water-based emulsion that modifies the visual appearance of personal care products from clear to opaque without affecting the other desired properties of the formula. SYNTRAN® opacifiers give whiteness and density at significant low levels (from 0.1 to 1.0 percent as supplied) with excellent formulation stability. SYNTRAN® 5900 is slowly added to the base product under agitation at the end of the manufacturing cycle (i.e., after final adjustment). A stability control is recommended.
