Hydrosperse (HS)-Treated

Hydrosperse (HS)-Treated Pigments; INCI name: Disodium Carboxyethyl Siliconate

Gelest Hydrosperse (HS) surface modification creates an anionic, hydrophilic reacted coating that provides instant dispersion in aqueous media without high shear agitation.

Hydrosperse Treatment Benefits:

Improved wetting in aqueous systems
Dispersion in water with low shear mixing
Complete color development
Higher tinting strength
Capability to achieve high pigment loading
Reduced tendency for color flotation and plate-out

Recommended Uses:

Liquid eyeliners
Mascaras
Oil-in-water foundations
Water-based concealers

Available Pigments

Chromium Oxide Green HS

Ultramarine Blue HS

Manganese Violet*

Ultramarine Pink*

Ultramarine Violet*

Procedure: Combine Phase F and heat to 85-90 °C. Combine Phase A and heat to 50 °C. Premix Phase B and add to Phase A. Add Phase C to Phase AB and stir slowly until dissolved. Add Phase D to Phase ABC and homogenize while increasing heat to 80 °C. At 80 °C, add Phase E to Phase ABCD and heat to 85-90 °C while homogenizing. When Phase ABCDE and Phase F reach 85-90 °C, add Phase F to Phases ABCDE under homogenization. Hold temperature and mix for additional 15 minutes. Cool to 45 °C and add Phase G. Continue to cool to 30 °C.

Procedure: Add Magnesium Aluminum Silicate to DI water and homogenize for 15 min at 3000 rpm in main vessel. Dissolve VP/VA Copolymer in DI water (under heat if needed) and add to Phase A. Premix Xanthan gum in glycols. Add Premix to main vessel and homogenize until gum is fully hydrated. In a separate vessel, add pigments to DI water. Mix under a propeller blade until dispersed and adjust pH to 7.0. Add Phase B to Phase A and mix until homogeneous at a lower speed. Add Phase C and mix until dispersed and uniform. Add Phase D and mix until uniform. Adjust batch to pH 7.0, if needed.
