HOME CARE FORMULATION

Cream Air Freshener Gel

H-AF-0007

Novemer EC-1 polymer provides not only rheology modification but eliminates the need for surfactant to emulsify the fragrances.
Formulating with Novemer EC-1 polymer allows for reduction of the humectant level since the rheology modifier provides good perfume
release. The polymer controls overall moisture content of the formulation. The low use level of the polymer as well as the reduction of the
humectant level provides a system which leaves low residue after the fragrance is released. These benefits make Novemer EC-1
polymer an economical rheology modifier for both commercial and industrial air freshener creams.
