Users will benefit from the alliance with IMCD for distribution and technical support.<br \/>\nSkincare and cosmetic products are subject to very strict requirements. They must not only give the skin a smooth, natural appearance, but also guarantee high tolerance and present no health risks. Kuraray, one of the world's leading manufacturers of specialty chemicals, has developed a new range of products tailored to the needs of the cosmetics industry. Thanks to their particularly low methanol content, Kuraray Poval's LV types are environmentally friendly and safe to use.<\/p>\n<p>\"The methanol content of the LV types in our Kuraray Poval brand is ten times lower than that of conventional polyvinyl alcohols (PVOH),\" says Heiko Mack, Head of Poval Business at Kuraray. \"We are therefore offering a substance that can be used to create cosmetic products that are better tolerated.\" Kuraray Poval's LV grades have been specially designed for the cosmetics industry, and come with appropriate regulatory data sheets. They have a methanol (MeOH) content of less than 0.3 %. To achieve such a result, PVOH-based substances are subjected to a complex cleaning process.<\/p><div class=\"indus-dans-articles indus-entity-placement\" style=\"text-align: center;display: flex;justify-content: center;\" id=\"indus-3332477640\"><div class=\"indus-adlabel\">Advertising<\/div><div id=\"indus-2443075280\"><a data-bid=\"1\" data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.industries-cosmetiques.fr\/en\/ad\/24744\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"notrack\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"site-industries-cosmetiques Promotional graphic for Siemens&quot; &quot;The Beauty Thread&quot; videocast series, with French text about faster formulation and better control thanks to enterprise recipe management.
