Cennlose^TM cellulose ethers are water-soluble polymers derived from cellulose, the most abundant naturally available polymer. Cellulose unlike any other types of natural polymers, such as starch and gums, fails to dissolve in water. Cennlose^TM cellulose ethers when dissolved in water, offers a variety of functions such as thickening, surface activity, protective colloid, water retention, shape retention, etc. These functions can be used in a wide variety of industries.

Divnova offers the following range of cellulose ethers under the Cennlose^TM brand specifically for the Cosmetics and Personal Care Industry:

MC, MHEC and HPMC have good skin and mucous membrane compatibility. They have been used for many years in cosmetic preparations with no known risks. Cennlose^TM products perform important functions in cosmetics and oral care products:

• As a base material for denture fixatives they help ensure that dentures fit comfortably.
• As a stabilizer in ointments, creams and toothpaste they provide for the right consistency.
• They are in fact hydrocolloids that can perform all kinds of tasks – they can thicken, stabilize, emulsify, form films and bind water.

Apart from the thickening and stabilizing properties of Cennlose^TM range of cellulose ethers, their ability to control the rheology in the end products is a particularly valued quality. Our product range allow for matching the desired elasticity with the required cellulose ether viscosity. Cennlose^TM also provide very high adhesive strength and long-duration effectiveness among other product advantages:

• Thixotropy
• Flow point
• Standing strength
• Gloss effect
• Stability in formulations with low water content
• Salt compatibility

The processes applied for manufacturing Cennlose^TM make this precision-matching possible, which is why our brand of cellulosic products are in abundant use in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.

On account of their high purity and physiological harmlessness, Cennlose^TM comply with the regulatory safety requirements relating to cosmetics.
