Lubrizol Introduces New Functional Polymers at Sepawa Conference
CLEVELAND, October 14, 2015 - The Lubrizol Corporation announces it will introduce an innovative new line of functional polymers for home care products at the Sepawa Conference in Fulda, Germany October 14-16.  In keeping with its innovation focus on high-value technology solutions, Lubrizol's new functional polymers enable products that enrich the consumer cleaning experience by delivering enhanced cleaning and care benefits.

Attendees visiting Lubrizol stand 400a will have the opportunity to learn about new home care solutions for Fabric and Dish Care as well as our latest innovative personal care concepts in Hair Care, Skin Care and Bath and Shower.

New Noverite(TM) 301 Polymer is a novel softening additive for high performance in 2-in-1 liquid laundry detergents.  The polymer has excellent affinity to fibers, which provides consumer perceivable fabric softness and fluffiness at low-incorporation levels.  Noverite 301 polymer has no negative impact on detergency performance and can help maintain fabric moisture wicking properties, enabling softer, more absorbent towels and more comfortable performance sportswear. 

New Noverite(TM) 311 and 315 Polymers are foam-boosting additives for liquid dish detergents.  Long-lasting foam in the presence of organic soil loads is developed by synergistic interaction of the polymer with cleansing surfactants.  Optimized polymer design allows for creation of cost-efficient formulations with high-foam and excellent cleaning performance. 

Personal Care product solutions featured at the Lubrizol booth include:

Hair Repair Solutions to treat damaged hair from root to tip and which are applicable to different hair types with varying degrees of damage such as exposure to bleach and mechanical stress from regular grooming practices.

The Sweet Escape: discover six simple and innovative formulations illustrating novel concepts and performance benefits for different Skin Care applications. Each product offers an innovative idea combining the sensorial benefits of a surprising texture, an appealing visual and an evocative fragrance, with the claimed performance of a high tech active ingredient substantiated by science.
