A S Harrison & Co are excited to announce their partnership with Evercare. EverCare is focused on innovation, supply and expertise in high quality zinc oxides for personal care and plastic applications. The technical and regulatory experts at EverCare are committed to accelerating the development of mineral sunscreens, packaging applications and rigid plastics.
The Evercare portfolio consists of three types of ultra fine zinc oxide powders and ready-to-use dispersants.
Zano®
The Zano® portfolio consists of three different grades of zinc oxide powders that each have been designed to exhibit distinct tailored performance in UVB, UVA and transparency. As such, there is a Zano® grade that will cover the specific performance needs in designing sunscreen performance.
Zano® offers additional benefits of being:
– Natural
– Photostable
– Non-Penetrating
Zano® filters are mild on the skin and have been tested to cause no irritation and sensitisation. Zano® combines all other skin benefits of zinc oxide, such as anti-inflammatory and skin healing properties.
When used as single UV filter, the Zano® (Plus) products will each provide specific SPF, UVA and transparency levels that will all comply to international UVA regulations and broad-spectrum claims.
Xperse®
Evercare Zano® (Plus) products are available as ready-for-use dispersions for optimal formulation results through our Xperse® range. Our Xperse® dispersions are based on Zano® (Plus) only or in combination with TiO2 with available Ecocert and COSMOS certified options.
Contact your A S Harrison & Co representative to discuss how Evercare can help with your zinc oxide performance needs.
Evercare Positive Reef Initiative
Choosing Zano® is more than choosing a reef-safe filter. It is a way to actively contribute to having an influence on coral reef restoration through the EverCare Positive Reef Impact Initiative.
Evercare’s aim is to allow for the creation of reef friendly sun care products while at the same time having a positive contribution to stop coral reef damage and promote its restoration.
Product and customer insights
CHALLENGE A 40-hectare raw water storage dam had persistent issues with blue-green algae (BGA) blooms, leading to taste and odor problems. Despite the presence of an aeration system to address water stratification and mixing, BGA counts remained seasonally high, particularly in summer and autumn. Upgraded aeration in 2018 did not resolve the issue, leaving the […]
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulation, known as IMO 2020 was the the largest change in regulation relating to marine fuels impacting 75% of the fuel used by the shipping industry.
CHALLENGE A power plant relying on ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) faced a critical operational challenge. A wastewater treatment upset severely fouled the UF system, drastically reducing water production. Despite multiple cleaning attempts with sodium hypochlorite and citric acid, transmembrane pressure (TMP) remained high, and flux showed no improvement. The plant’s inability to meet […]
Keeping drilling costs low using Redi-Guard™ High Performance, an ecologically friendly drilling fluid technology with revolutionary rheological and shale encapsulation properties
CHALLENGE A municipal water reuse plant processing 8 million gallons per day (MGD) experienced severe fouling and scaling issues, including calcium phosphate and silica deposits. With steep feed pressure increases and differential pressures in both stages, the plant required frequent cleanings every 4 to 6 weeks, amounting to 32 cleanings annually. Each cleaning cycle resulted […]
The plant was experiencing weekly shutdowns for fiber clean up (~ 3 kg bags of matted slurry is cleaned per week). The shut downs were costly as they reduce plant availability for production.
CHALLENGE A municipal reverse osmosis (RO) plant on Florida’s west coast, with a 20 MGD capacity, faced high operational costs due to its reliance on 93% sulfuric acid for pH adjustment. The plant used a combination of a brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) membranes and fiberglass-wrapped membranes across 10 trains, each operating at 75% recovery. […]
CHALLENGE A gold processing plant in New Zealand sought to improve gold recovery efficiency while addressing high Total Organic Carbon (TOC) levels. Elevated TOC increased the Preg-Robbing Factor (PRF), reducing the plant’s ability to efficiently recover gold during the Carbon-In-Leach (CIL) process. The traditional use of kerosene as a carbon blanking agent offered limited efficacy, […]
CHALLENGE A municipal reverse osmosis (RO) plant, with a capacity of 2 million gallons per day (MGD), faced frequent system cleanings, every 2-4 months, due to rising feed pressure. The plant, which sources water from brackish wells and uses Toray TMG-20D-400 membranes in a (16×7) -> (8×7) train configuration, was operating at 78% recovery. Despite […]
Research indicates that Sea Buckthorn may be able to strengthen the immune system. One in vitro study focused on the possible immunomodulatory properties of Sea Buckthorn.
AWC A-110 effectively inhibited scale at a dosage of 3.5 ppm and an operating pH of 6.9. This increase in operating pH reduced the district’s annual acid consumption by ~$350K per year based on their current production.
MCI® -2020 V/O and ChemMaster’s Colorsil were chosen to repair and protect the walls based on their 20 year warranties and the fact that together they could fulfill the other specified repair design requirements.
Despite numerous cleanings, the productivity of the Reverse Osmosis plant would not recover from severe membrane fouling. The membrane autopsy revealed that the ferric hydroxide was seeding
silica polymerization and that even while the ferric hydroxide was removed, the silica scaling was continuing to grow.
The East Hokkaido region is known to have the highest volume of potato product in Japan. Unfortunately, a potato farmer in the area was experiencing a high rate of potato scab infection in his agricultural field.
