Permethyl® HPIB-LITE
- CAS Number
- 40921-86-661693-08-1
- INCI Name
- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene
Permethyl® HPIB series is a line of hydrogenated polyisobutene fluids ranging from highly volatile, low viscosity liquids to non-volatile viscous materials. The low viscosity grades are differentiated by skin feel, spreadability and volatility. The high viscosity grades give high gloss and film forming properties, and are differentiated by product viscosity.
