Croda’s screening of a variety of organophilic antisettling agents has shown that self-activating organically modified clays are effective antisettling agents in all classes of agricultural oils and are compatible with a broad variety of Croda’s dispersing agents, emulsifiers, wetting agents, and adjuvants.

SEDERMA
Skin Tone: Not Just Melanine...A "Colorful" Review of
Factors That Determine Skin Chromophores
February 17, 2010 2:00-3:00
pm (Eastern)
The “Color of Skin” is determined by several factors, foremost being melanin pigmentation, redness from cutaneous microcirculation and light absorption by the tissue’s proteins (collagen). Young skin appears homogenous, whatever the overall tone.
With aging, redness, blemishes, spots and other heterogeneities appear on the skin as visible signs; they are related to the various chromophores (color bearing entities), molecules able to absorb light and whose accumulation is readily perceived by the eyes.

March 17, 2010 2:00-3:00
pm (Eastern)
We will go beyond the basics and discuss the specific ways that cosmetic ingredients interact with the skin. From actives, to sunscreens, to emollients, to surfactants, we will discuss what these ingredients do to the skin.

COATINGS & POLYMERS
Improving Waterborne Acrylic Coatings and Pressure
Sensitive Adhesives
March 31, 2010 2:00-3:00 pm (Eastern)
The disadvantages of using conventional surfactants in
acrylic coatings and pressure sensitive adhesives, such
as water sensitivity, gloss and adhesion properties, can
be overcome with the use of non migratory, reactive
surfactants. By eliminating surfactant migration in a
coating or adhesive you can obtain superior adhesion,
freeze thaw stability and water resistance.
Croda will introduce its Maxemul range of non migratory,
reactive surfactants that covalently link to a polymer
particle surface imparting improved colloidal stability
of the polymer dispersion during synthesis, storage,
compounding, application and ultimately during polymer
film formation.
Come see how Croda can dramatically improve the
performance properties of emulsion polymers for coatings
and adhesives.
