- Product Background
ElaraTM colorants are designed for use in a wide range of formulations, from water-based and oil-based to even more demanding solvent-based systems. They perform well in all types of personal care products, from lip gloss and lip sticks to lotions and soaps.
Elara™ offers a significant improvement in lightfastness, averaging 2.5 times better than previous fluorescent colorants. They employ a revolutionary new thermosetting polymer component that is resistant to solvents commonly employed in nail enamels and hair sprays. Furthermore, because of the cross-linked nature of these materials, formulations can be processed at higher temperatures without adverse effects or migration of color
- Product Highlights
Combining an optical brightener with DayGlo's Elara™ polymer technology creates this exciting optical effect additive. This unique product provides the fluorescent effects of an optical brightener without the staining or dispersion problems often associated with brighteners. EL-00 can be used to enhance brightness of formulations, as a soft focus effect filler or simply to add fluorescence to an existing formulation.
