Technical Data Sheet


Applications
  • Cosmetic ingredients - lips
  • Cosmetic ingredients - nails
  • Hair care ingredients
Key Attributes
  • Contributes to adhesion and transfer resistance
  • Forms clear, glossy films
  • Resistant to thermal and oxidative degradation
  • Soluble in non-polar liquids
  • Water-white color

Product Description
Regalite™ R1100 CG hydrocarbon resin is a cosmetic grade resin derived from petrochemical feedstocks. This water-white, thermoplastic resin is fully hydrogenated providing excellent stability. It has excellent solubility and compatibility with non-polar ingredients in cosmetic applications, contributing both adhesion and gloss.

Compatibility and Solubility
Compatible at all ratios, or in limited but practically useful proportions, with natural and synthetic rubbers, polyethylene, polypropylene, PIB (polyisobutene) and various coalescing aids and plasticizers. Soluble at all useful proportions in aliphatic, aromatic, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Insoluble in alcohols and water.

Packaging
Regalite™ R1100 CG hydrocarbon resin is pastillated and packed in polyethylene bags of 20 kg net.

Storage
Due to the thermoplastic behavior, pastillated and flaked resins may fuse, block or lump. This can be accelerated under any of the following conditions: 1) above ambient temperature 2) prolonged storage 3) pressure, e.g., stacking pallets, or a combination of these conditions. This is particularly applicable for low softening point resin grades.

In order to maintain the flake or pastille shape, we therefore recommend storing the material in a temperature-controlled area, be careful with stacking material or applying pressure and preventing prolonged storage.

It should be noted that lumping does not have a negative impact on the product specifications. Due to the nature of the product, claims regarding lumping cannot be accepted.

Resins are prone to gradual oxidation, some more so than others. This could result in darkening and/or it could have an adverse effect on the solubility of the resin in organic solvents or on its compatibility with polymers. Accordingly, it is recommended that strict control of inventory be observed at all times, taking care that the oldest material is used first.

Regalite™ R1100 CG hydrocarbon resin will remain within product sales specification limits for a period of at least twelve months after shipment from Eastman production facilities in the Netherlands, provided storage conditions outlined in this data sheet are observed. However, as we can neither anticipate the conditions under which the resin is processed nor the end use applications for which it is used, the product should be reanalyzed for critical properties at the end of its shelf life to determine if it meets specification for use.
