Nouryon announced the launch of Demeon ReNu100, a versatile, high-performing and bio-based propellant for aerosol applications.
The product features dimethyl ether (DME) with a natural origin index of 1 and is made from 100% bio-based methanol according to the mass balance approach (using conventional and sustainable or recycled materials that are tracked and verified through a chain-of-custody system). Developed in response to consumer demand for premium low-carbon personal care products, Nouryon’s Demeon ReNu100 provides a high-performing propellant that reduces the carbon footprint by up to 100% compared to standard DME. the versatile ingredient can be used in various personal care applications including hair spray, antiperspirant and deodorant sprays, dry shampoos, mousse and shave foams.
“Our customers seek new ingredients and technologies that adhere to eco-friendly principles and meet consumer expectations for effective and ethically produced products,” stated David Freidinger, VP of Personal Care & Pharma at Nouryon.
“Demeon ReNu100 propellant is a versatile, colorless and virtually odorless propellant that contains no animal-derived ingredients and was developed without animal testing, offering a sustainable alternative for formulators.”
Demeon ReNu100 helps to distribute aerosol products in smaller droplets, providing better coverage and it is fast drying. It offers the same performance as standard DME, with both having high solvency and being water miscible. Additionally, Demeon ReNu100 has a much lower global warming potential and is made from a bio-based source, noted Nouryon.
