Dow Corning Corporation, a leader in silicon-based technology, and Lipo Chemicals Inc., a leader in organic-based chemistry and specialised delivery systems, have recently announced how they are moving forward, through a marketing and technical alliance, to provide micro-encapsulation delivery system technologies to personal care and household care formulators.
“Delivery system platforms vary dramatically and the choice of the ‘right’ platform relies heavily on the formulator’s application parameters and the expertise of the delivery system provider,” said Leo Kolaitis, global delivery platform manager, Dow Corning Life Sciences division. “To best meet those needs, we are combining the offering and capabilities of silicone chemistries with organic technologies.”
Dr Stephen Greenberg, senior vice president, Business Development, Lipo Chemicals, said: “The alliance will create a true global single point of contact for technology leadership, and standardised and customised products.
“Our competencies and synergies will allow each company to expand current product applications to new customers and develop new applications.”
