Question

Can Glossy Wax (Polyethylene Wax) be mixed with PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate)?

Answer

Yes, Glossy Wax (Polyethylene Wax) can be mixed with SelectSorb™ (High Oil Absorption PMMA).

Here's why:

  • Glossy Wax is an oil-soluble liquid wax. It is designed to be mixed into the oil phase of a formulation.
  • SelectSorb™ (PMMA) is a powder that is designed to be dispersed in the final step of a formula, specifically if the formula contains an oil component.

Since Glossy Wax is an oil-based ingredient, SelectSorb™ (PMMA) can be effectively dispersed within a formulation containing Glossy Wax.

You can use Glossy Wax to provide shine and improve texture or adhesion in your formula, while SelectSorb™ (PMMA) can be added to absorb excess oil and improve the skin feel, reducing greasiness.
