KETJENFLEX® for Cosmetics
Axcentive has always shown great effort in the development of high quality nail lacquers and polishes. Our co-resins and citrate based technologies are supportive for the nail lacquers to obtain:
• High flexibility
• Toughness and durability (up to 1 week)
• Excellent gloss
Key Application Areas
Our KETJENFLEX® critical additives in NC-based nail lacquers offer a combination of strong adhesion, toughness, durability, flexibility, and gloss. Their performances make it the preferred choice for professional and consumer nail products seeking long-lasting, high-quality results.
Enhanced Adhesion and Toughness
KETJENFLEX® MH (TSF resin) is specifically highlighted for its ability to improve adhesion of the nail lacquer to the natural nail plate. When incorporated into NC-based formulations, it toughens the coating, ensuring that the polish sticks strongly to the nail surface. This results in longer-lasting manicures with reduced risk of chipping or peeling.
Biobased Solution
Today’s customers are demanding improved safety of ingredients and lower impact on the environment. To meet these challenges while maintaining adequate performance we promote Ketjenflex® 12 produced from renewable raw materials.
Applicability and Gloss
While nitrocellulose provides hardness and shine, it can be brittle on its own. KETJENFLEX® 8 addresses this by imparting toughness without excessive brittleness, resulting in a coating that is both strong and flexible. This balance helps prevent cracking and breakage of the nail lacquer film. Also, Ketjenflex® 8 will bring film forming properties to the coating.
