Sunflower Wax Emulsion for Enhanced Hydrophobicity and Surface Properties As you look for the optimal material for your leather treatment formulations, Univar Solutions is proud to offer a non-toxic material from BYK that provides superb water and oil repellency – AQUACER 570   AQUACER 570 is a sustainable and resource-friendly wax additive that is based on a modified sunflower wax to provide increased water and oil repellency.   Static Hydrophobicity Testing on LEFA Substrate What is in AQUACER 570? AQUACER 570 is made from sunflower wax that is collected from sunflower seeds which are naturally coated with a fine layer of wax. This delicate flower wax is collected using a gentle refining process. It is then modified to ensure optimal properties for leather care. How does AQUACER 570 Compare? AQUACER 570 outperformed paraffin wax, carnauba wax, beeswax, montane ester wax and HDPE across the board with a significant increase in hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and rain fastness. While it polishes well, AQUACER 570 is a relatively hard wax compared to other natural waxes. It offers nearly 300% more hydrophobicity than other natural waxes based on industrial standard test methods.

ESTERLAC® Care+ Our partners at Corbion are global leaders in the development of innovative humectants and emulsifiers, offering a range of high quality materials for beauty and personal care applications. ESTERLAC® Care+ is a 100% biobased sodium salt derived from natural L-lactic acid and isostearic acid. Although slightly anionic, it behaves like a non-ionic co-surfactant. As a natural honey-like liquid, this product can replace amide/MEA in sulfate-free cleansers or shampoos and provide effective solubilization to create clear formulas. As a foam and flow enhancer, it delivers in-use feel and also contributes to a unique after-feel. ESTERLAC Care+ can enhance the way users experience silicone-free, sulfate-free shampoos by delivering substantive properties to hair, allowing polymers to cling more easily to hair shafts and ensure a smooth, moisturized finish. The addition of lactic acid can offer further benefits by filling in keratin spots, forming bridges, reducing split ends, and providing a healthy, shiny look in use. #html-body [data-pb-style="6235E4B3C6A11"]{justify-content: flex-start; display: flex; flex-direction: column; background-position: left top; background-size: cover; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: scroll; border-style: none; border-width: 1px; border-radius: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 10px;}#html-body [data-pb-style="6235E4B3C6A2A"]{border-style: none; border-width: 1px; border-radius: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;}
