This Industry Brochure highlights new and innovative concepts for AEROSIL^® in Personal Care applications. Our "Aqua Foundation", based on the "Dry Water" concept is one of them. Other applications include AEROSIL^® in skin care products (oleo gels / emulsions); anti-perspirants (sticks, roll-ons & sprays); hair care products (bleaching agents, dyes, rinses & sprays) and last but not least in decorative cosmetics (powders, make-up, lipsticks etc.). We recommend AEROSIL^® as a universal, multifunctional cosmetic ingredient, enabling new and innovative product concepts. Application / product specific charts summarize the properties that can be achieved with AEROSIL^® and recommend the appropriate types to use. Related literature and guide formulations are addressed in this brochure as well.

This Industry Brochure presents our special "Pharma-Grades" as part of the AEROSIL^® product portfolio. The Pharma grades differ from our other products in that they are manufactured and handled according to good manufacturing practices (GMP) guidelines for pharmaceutical excipients as established by the International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council (IPEC). In addition each lot is fully tested according to Ph. Eur., USP/NF, and in the case of AEROSIL^® 200 Pharma also JP, and supplied with an appropiate certificate of analysis. In addition to regulatory information, the brochure addresses the various pharmaceutical applications of AEROSIL^® 200 Pharma, AEROSIL^® 200 VV Pharma and our newest product AEROSIL^® R 972 Pharma. These include solid (e.g. tablets), semi-solid (e.g. suppositories) and liquid (e.g. gels, creams) dosage forms. Tables are used to summarize the effects that can be achieved and the recommended products.

The Industry Brochure 'Photo Inkjet Media' gives a survey over the advantages of microporous coatings in the inkjet media field. The advantages of the microporous systems as compared to the swellable type systems, e.g. water fastness are explained. The production of ink absorbing layers can be done in an easy and convenient way, when using special grades of AEROSIL^®. The broad range of AEROSIL^® fumed oxides from Degussa is referred to. AEROSIL^® and AERODISP^® are the key for the production of high gloss inkjet papers. Tailor-made dispersions for the inkjet coatings application may either contain fumed alumina or cationized silica and are offering a lot of advantages. For matt applications the suitable Sipernat^®-types are listed.

Since the 1940`s, Degussa has had a broad portfolio of AEROSIL^® products that have been developed for specific silicone applications. AEROSIL^® products are famous worldwide for the improvements of mechanical properties that can be achieved with them. We introduce our lineup of new and innovative products for silicone rubber, right in the beginning of this brochure. These new products improve heat stability and optical properties (transparent, shiny or matt surfaces). The other more traditional properties, such as rheology control, mechanical properties, storage stability, processability etc. are discussed as well.
