With COVID-19, health safety and how we manage ourselves in our world, has changed. One thing unchanged is New Brook International and our manufacturing partners dedication to finding solutions for our customers’ formulation challenges.
Last year, at this time, most of us didn’t think much about hand sanitizers. Every industry has been faced with raw material shortages and price increases. The hand sanitizer industry got hit with a large price increase on an important polymer used as a gelling agent. New Brook and our partner, FCC, knew our SUPBENT® XMP already was a terrific gelling agent in personal care products. We began working with our customers to start weening their formulation off of the expensive option, until total replacement with the more cost-effective SUPBENT® XMP.
The result? Turns out that SUPBENT® XMP is much more stable, even in direct sunlight!
Looks like hand sanitizers will be a staple in every home, school, office, brief case, purse and backpack, for some time. Let’s get your formulation on the shelf, with better stability and at a cost advantage.
