Personal care items

The examples in Table 12-3 illustrate the diversity of colloidal suspensions. Colloidal suspensions are commonly found in nature, and humans have learned how to make useful suspensions. Some of these are foods such as butter, Ice cream, and whipped cream. Others are personal care items like shampoos, shaving creams, and hair sprays. 

We could have chosen examples involving drug delivery, agriculture, aquaculture, and production of cosmetic and personal care items with equal force and conviction. It is important for practitioners of those disciplines to continue reading this text and look for relevant applications. 

Synthetic polyisoprenes are superior to natural rubber in terms of consistency of properties. The are also freer of contaminants, and are preferred for applications that require lighter color, for personal care items and for derivatization to chlorinated and cyclized rubber products that are used in the adhesives and coatings industries.

Another major source of contamination in an analysis can be the analyst. It depends on what kind of analytes are being measured, but when trace or ultratrace levels of elements or molecules are being determined, the analyst can be a part of the analytical problem. Many personal care items, such as hand creams, shampoos, powders, and cosmetics, contain significant amounts of chemicals that may be analytes. The problem can be severe for volatile organic compounds in aftershave, perfume, and many other scented products and for sihcone polymers, used in many health and beauty products. Powdered gloves may contain a variety of trace elements and should not be used by analysts performing trace element determinations. Hair, skin, and clothing can shed cells or fibers that can contaminate a sample. 

Kraton also offers a broad product portfolio of value-enhancing polymers that are used in a number of applications, including consumer and personal care items, adhesives and coatings, electronics, medical supplies, automotive components, and paving and roofing materials. Many of the world s top Fortune 500 companies have chosen to partner with Kraton Polymers for the development of creative solutions. Kraton offers approximately 800 products to more than 700 customers in over 60 countries worldwide, and its intellectual product portfolio includes approximately 1,400 patents (issued or pending). 

Technical gelatins are also employed in the manufacture of protein hydrolysates, an ingredient in personal care items such as skin creams, hair shampoos, and cosmetics. Generally the gelatin is reduced to a molecular weight under 2000 by the use of enzymes or caustic and further combined chemically at reactive sites to form modified proteins of interest to the industry.
