New biopolymer corn starch-based ingredient

Asensa NFF 11 is a new biopolymer corn starch based ingredient that sets a new standard in hair styling and other caring applications. This unique ingredient differs from other starch derived raw materials in that it forms a latex dispersion in water and dries to a continuous film on substrates.

This “natural” film former can be used in gels, mousses, serums and some emulsions where an aesthetically pleasing, occlusive film is required.

The registered brand “Asensa” is Honeywell’s commitment to customers that these products comply with personal care requirements and legislation.

Honeywell Asensa polymeric rheology modifiers provide structure to lipid phases and thus increase viscosity and formulation stability.  The company's recently launched polyurethane dispersion ingredient provides “structural” thickening of aqueous phases where typical agents fail to meet the performance or aesthetics sought after in modern formulations.

Honeywell offer synthetic polymer film formers that add permanency, moisture retention, and water resistance to formulations. 

Honeywell's Asensa micronised products (some as low in size as 3 micron) function as powder enhancers, providing a more luxurious feel to cosmetics and lotions.  These multifunctional powders reduce or eliminate the need for oil binders in press powders.

Asensa exfoliating beads are available in a large variety of sizes and morphology that provide consistent quality and reliability for your formulations. 

The Asensa DS line of zeolites helps eliminate unwanted odors from raw materials or provides a pleasant warming sensation during use.  Our new evaporative cooling agent is going to change the way consumers think about heat relief.

Honeywell can draw upon decades of manufacturing and development experience to bring you a diverse array of compositions and properties that meet virtually any application requirements you have. Its global sales and technical teams can help you wherever you do business. By choosing Honeywell Asensa, you can be confident that you’ll receive high-quality service, high-quality products and technical expertise to solve your toughest challenges.
