- Key Features
ALPICARE D 3 is a natural polymer with highly effective dispersing properties for inorganic pigments and powders, as well as physical sunscreens such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, or hydroxyapatite.; Powder loading in formulations can be easily increased, with improved stability and lower viscosity, by adding small amounts of ALPICARE D 3.; Additional benefits include a potentially higher SPF, delivered through a more even application, and improved transparency in sun care products with physical UV filters.; In colour cosmetic applications, colour coverage and colour intensity can be potentially improved through the addition of ALPICARE D 3.

- Formulation Tips
ALPICARE D 3 should be warmed and stirred before use to ensure a homogeneous product.; ALPICARE D 3 should be dissolved in the carrier phase (oil phase) before adding powders and solids.; The dose rate needs to be optimisation for each solid or pigment type. An easy way to do so is a dispersant demand curve.; Final optimisation of dispersant dose must be carried out by milling dispersions on equipment that represents production.
