By combining the new Emulgade NLB compound with the innovative high-spreading dry emollient Cetiol® CC (Dicaprylyl Carbonate), the sensory performance of the final formulation can be significantly improved. Cetiol CC is also suitable for use in aerosol systems, due to its very good perfume and propellant solubility.

On the occasion of the PCIA, Cognis introduced Lamesoft Care, a unique multifunctional wax dispersion for skin and hair care which is an exceptionally powerful conditioning system. Due to its balanced blend of performance waxes and emollient, Lamesoft Care delivers perceivable conditioning effects for hair and excellent sensorial skin care properties in body wash products. In combination with cationic polymers the conditioning effects can be enhanced. This wax dispersion fits into marketing concepts for shampoo and shower products with white dense and elegant pearlshine effects.

Another new product exhibited first at the PCIA was Plantapon® SF an exceptionally mild, ready-to-use surfactant base. Because of its natural ingredients, it is free of sulfate, ethylene oxide and preservatives and is ideal for the creation of new “green and mild” body cleansers, facial washes and baby care concepts as well as professional shampoos. In addition to these excellent properties, Plantapon SF is a liquid which is easy to handle and cold processable.

Cognis is a worldwide supplier of innovative specialty chemicals and nutritional ingredients. The company employs about 8,000 people, and it operates production sites and service centers in 30 countries.

Another main focus is on products for a number of other industries, such as coatings and inks, lubricants, textiles, as well as agriculture and mining. The company holds a 50-percent stake in Cognis Oleochemicals, one of the world's leading manufacturers of natural-source oleochemical basestocks.
