    AMP ULTRA PC™

    AMP-ULTRA™ PC is a high-efficiency neutralizer for thickeners, carbomers and acrylate-derivative polymers. AMP-ULTRA PC neutralizers are proven to be stable in long-term storage conditions, offer a high safety profile, and process rapidly and easily. They also help in the formation of fully transparent gels. With a low molecular weight, formulators can often use less AMP-ULTRA PC for in-formulation neutralization compared to most other cosmetic-grade neutralizers. 

    Applications:

    • Hand sanitizers
    • Pump sprays
    • Aerosol spray products
    • Styling gels and mousses
    • Sunscreen lotions
    • After-sun coolers

    Characteristics:

    • Colorless solid or liquid

    Grades:

    • AMP-ULTRA PC 1000 (anhydrous)
    • AMP-ULTRA PC 2000 (5% water)
    • AMP-ULTRA PC 3000 (11% water)
    AMPD ULTRA PC™

    AMPD ULTRA PC helps to reduce emulsion particle size and enhance rheological properties. It aids in pigment dispersion and improves dispersion stability, making it particularly well-suited for use in mascara and color cosmetics.

    DMAMP™ ULTRA PC features the highest base strength of all Advancion’s ULTRA PC products, making it particularly well suited for permanent and semi-permanent hair colorants.

    TRIS-AMINO™ ULTRA PC

    Globally Compliant High Purity Buffer, Solubilizer and Neutralizer for Personal Care Products

    • CTFA, including listing in USA and Japan (Tromethamine)
    • ISO 9000:2000 certified
    • Kosher and Halal compliant

    TRIS AMINO® ULTRA PC imparts superior color stability, preventing the yellowing and darkening that can occur with other amines over time in cosmetic formulations.

    Applications:

    • Cleansing and Skin treatment gels
    • Sunscreens
    • O/W emulsions
    • Spray-on lotions and creams
    • Polymer thickened products

    Benefits:

    • Effective buffer and mild neutralizer for acidic components
    • Soluble in water and alcohol
    • Globally compliant
    • Mild Buffering agent
    • Low toxicity
    • Color stability
    • Viscosity stability
    • Emulsion stabilization
    • Metal oxide dispersion
    • Improvement of the CMC of neutralized fatty acid
    • Odor scavenger

    Characteristics:

    • INCI Name: tromethamine
    • Appearance: White, crystalline powder
    • Biodegradability 100%
    • Active matter: 99.0%
