Georgia-based producer of specialty hydrocolloids CP Kelco has announced plans to increase capacity at its production facility for carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) used in cosmetics, in Finland over the next 12-18 months.
CP Kelco introduced two new ingredients at In-Cosmetics in
Amsterdam including a microfibrous cellulose blend to help green
chemists create stable formulations.
Family-owned US firm JM Huber has become the number one pectin,
xanthan gum and CMC supplier after yesterday agreeing to buy
leading hydrocolloid firm CP Kelco from merchant bank Lehman
Brothers, reports Lindsey Partos.
