VERSENE™

Application:

• Canned seafood, dressings, sauces, spreads, canned beans, beverages, potato products, pickled vegetables

Symptoms:

• Discoloration, rancidity, off-odors/off-flavors, precipitation, loss of clarity, texture, deterioration, crystal formation, shortened shelf-life

Benefits:

• Protects natural flavor, color, texture and nutritive value of food products; improves shelf-life and consumer appeal; frequently more economical than citrates and phosphates

Application:

• Heavy-duty detergent, ard surface cleaners

Symptoms:

• Poor performance in hard water, poor foaming, poor rinsability, haze formation, poor shelf-life, discoloration, rancidity, high phosphate levels, germicide poor performance, hard water strains, bathtub ring, dishwasher spots

Benefits:

• Better foaming, detergency, and rinsing in hard water; helps remove metal oxides and slats from fabric; enhances shelf-life; improved consumer appeal; improved germicidal actions; USDA approved for many indirect food uses

Application:

• Creams, lotions, oils, bar and liquid soaps, shampoos, hair preparations

Symptoms:

• Poor performance in hard water; poor rinsability; haze or precipitation; oxidation, rancidity, or off-odors; viscosity shifts; poor shelf-life; texture and appearance degradation

Benefits:

• Better lathering in shampoos and soaps; improved shelf-life and consumer appeal; prevents softening, brown spotting, and cracking in bar soaps; improves stability of fragrances, fats, oils, and other water soluble ingredients

Application:

• Drug stabilization, antimicrobial booster, antioxidant Preservative

Symptoms:

• Poor drug performance in presence of hard water

Benefits:

• EDTA is approved by the FDA for use in heavy metal poisoning treatment; deactivates metal ions that interfere with drug performance VERSENE food- and pharmaceutical-grade EDTA products comply with USP/NF/FCC requirements

Application:

• Mechanical pulp, bleaching, chemical pulping, reduction of brightness reversion, chemithermomechanical pulping

Symptoms:

• Poor performance of hydrogen peroxide or hydrosulfite bleaches; problems meeting brightness needs; excessive bleach usage; process scaling; brightness reversion in finished paper

Benefits:

• Enhanced effectiveness of sodium sulfite; enhanced effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide and hydrosulfite bleach; higher brightness and/or lower bleaching costs; less need to overbleach to ensure specified brightness level; controls scaling and reduces costly downtime; water-soluble; Dow offers a unique system-approach to silicate-free peroxide bleaching; Dow chelating agents are approved for many indirect food uses

Application:

• Boilers, heat exchangers, evaporators, filter cloths, glass-lined kettles

Symptoms:

• Scale deposits; frequent shut-downs for cleaning; reduced heat transfer efficiency

Benefits:

• Dissolves common types of scale during normal operation; effective in off-line and on-line scale removal; improves process efficiency and reduces downtime; works over a wide range of temperatures, pH levels, and pressures uses

Application:

• Surface preparation, metal cleaning, metal finishing and plating

Symptoms:

• Drag-in and contamination of succeeding plating baths; poor rinse solution performance at elevated temperatures; oxidation of cleaned iron or steel during storage; streaking after pickling; rough deposits, reduced efficiency, dulling, and unsuitable metal deposition during plating

Benefits:

• Improved product performance in hard water; improved rinsability; more consistent performance Improved high-temperature performance

Application:

• Preparation, desizing, scouring, bleaching, dyeing

Symptoms:

• Poor performance of hydrogen peroxide bleach; fabric contaminated with deleterious materials; dye shade change

Benefits:

• Deactivates metal ions that interfere with hydrogen peroxide performance; less need to overbleach to ensure specified brightness level; water soluble; dye shade stability

Application:

• Drilling, production, recovery

Symptoms:

• Formation plugging due to iron precipitation during acidizing and fracturing processes; scaling on well casings from brines normally coproduced with oil; scale buildup, precipitation, and plugging in enhanced oil recovery operations

Benefits:

• Prevents plugging, sealing, precipitation by deactivating metal ions; effective over wide temperature and pH range

Application:

• Boilers, evaporators, heat exchangers, filter cloths, glass-lined kettles

Symptoms:

• Scale deposits, reduced heat transfer efficiency, reduced flow rates

Benefits:

• Removes existing scale deposits; works in combination with other materials to prevent scale formation

LexFeel® Natural by INOLEX is an extremely light and dry 100% natural non-palm emollient. LexFeel® Natural can be used in sunscreens, moisturizers, lotions, hair care formulations, color cosmetics and antiperspirants/deodorants. It is a natural alternative to synthetic fluids such as cyclomethicone and mineral oils. It can also be combined with natural oils to reduce the greasiness of such materials. LexFeel® Natural contains 100% biobased content as certified by the USDA BioPreferred® Program, is COSMOS approved, and is approved for use in NSF/ANSI 305 certified personal care products.

Applications:

• hair care
• skin care

Benefits:

• hair care
