| Product | Description | Benefits | Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Veegum® EZ | Veegum® EZ is a highly purified smectite clay suspension stabilizer, emulsion optimizer and rheology modifier. This smectite clay is synergistic with common thickeners such as Vanzan® xanthan gum and CMC. | Reduces the slippery or sticky feel of gums and polymers, Provides a silky, tack-free feel in topical preparations | Topical, Dental |
| Veegum® CH | Veegum® CH is a custom milled purified smectite clay that enables the formulation of consumer friendly “reconstitutable” personal care products. These reconstitutables are blends of powder-form ingredients that are made functional simply by adding a small amount of water, or other liquid, just prior to use. No preservatives are needed and their shelf life is virtually unlimited. | Creamy texture, Stabilises the foam structure in cleansing products, Serves as a film forming binder and an absorbent in facial masks, Is a unique high charge, residue-free hair softener | Cream, Lotions, Shampoo,Antiperspirants products |
| Veegum® D | Veegum® D Magnesium Aluminum Silicate is a dental care grade that ensures a stable and short paste or gel with excellent brush stand-up, flavor release and rinseability. Veegum® D works synergistically with organic gum binders, allowing the fine-tuning of dentifrice properties with minimal inhibition of fluoride recovery. The incorporation of soluble pyrophosphate with Veegum® D maximizes fluoride bioavailability. | Reduces the slippery, stringy or sticky feel of gums and polymers | Cosmetic grade which also has topical and dental use in OTC pharmaceuticals |
| Veegum® HV | Veegum®HV is a highly purified smectite clay suspension stabilizer, emulsion optimiser and rheology modifier. This smectite clay is synergistic with common thickeners such as Veegum® xanthan gum and CMC. These combinations will provide greater thickening, stabilising and suspending properties than those developed by the individual components of the mixture. | Reduces the slippery or sticky feel of gums and polymers, Provides a silky, tack-free feel in topical preparations, Excellent emulsion and suspension stability at low use levels | Grade is used in a variety of personal care products. |
| Veegum® HS | Veegum® HS is a highly purified smectite clay suspension stabilizer, emulsion optimizer and rheology modifier. This smectite clay is synergistic with common thickeners such as Vanzan® xanthan gum and CMC. These combinations will provide greater thickening, stabilising and suspending properties than those developed by the individual components of the mixture. | Reduces the slippery or sticky feel of gums and polymers, Provides a silky, tack-free feel in topical preparations, Provides maximum electrolyte stability and minimum acid demand | Acidic pH pharmaceutical suspensions, Lotions, Creams |
| Veegum® Pure | Veegum® Pure is a highly purified smectite clay suspension stabiliser, emulsion optimiser and rheology modifier. This smectite clay is synergistic with common thickeners such as Vanzan® xanthan gum and CMC. These combinations will provide greater thickening, stabilising and suspending properties than those developed by the individual components of the mixture. | Reduces the slippery or sticky feel of gums and polymers, Provides a silky, tack-free feel in topical preparations, ECOCERT and COSMOS™ approved | Pharmaceutical grade. Topical, Dental use |
| Veegum® K | Veegum® K is a highly purified smectite clay suspension stabiliser, emulsion optimiser and rheology modifier. This smectite clay is synergistic with common thickeners such as Vanzan® xanthan gum and CMC. These combinations will provide greater thickening, stabilising and suspending properties than those developed by the individual components of the mixture. | Reduces the slippery or sticky feel of gums and polymers, Provides a silky, tack-free feel in topical preparations, | Oral, Topical, Dental |
| Veegum® Ultra | Veegum® Ultrais a smectite clay synergistic with common thickeners such as Vanzan® xanthan gum and CMC. These combinations will provide greater thickening, stabilising and suspending properties than those developed by the individual components of the mixture. | Reduces the slippery or sticky feel of gums and polymers, Provides a silky, tack-free feel in topical preparations, Easiest of all the grades to hydrate | Any low pH formulation, Sunscreens, Acne treatments, Exfoliants |
| Veegum® XGB | Veegum® XGB Bentonite Clay is a synergistic blend of natural bentonite and xanthan gum that hydrates quickly, even with low shear mixing in unheated water. The combination of bentonite clay and xanthan gum will provide greater thickening, stabilizing and suspending properties than those developed by the individual components of the mixture. Veegum® XGB stabilises water based suspensions and emulsions over a broad range of pH and storage temperatures. | Imparts a pleasant application feel, ECOCERT and COSMOS™ approved | Recommended for difficult to stabilise suspensions and emulsions, Topical, Dental use |
Product and customer insights
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 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.
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.
