Today, with the three major waves of 'pure beauty,' 'efficacious skin care,' and 'sustainable consumption,' the daily chemical industry is accelerating to say goodbye to the traditional formula system represented by synthetic thickeners, petrochemical emulsifiers, and plastic microbeads. A new material that sounds a bit 'cutting-edge' but is closely related to every bottle of essence and every facial cleanser - nanocellulose, is quietly becoming the core new choice for high-end daily chemical formulas. Who is it? How is it different from ordinary cellulose? Why is it called 'invisible diamond from nature'? This article will take you through it in one go. 1. What is nanocellulose: 'Dismantle' wood to the nanoscale. Cellulose is the most abundant natural polymer on earth and is widely found in plant cell walls, algae and some bacteria. The so-called nanocellulose (Nanocellulose) is to 'disassemble' natural cellulose to at least one dimensional size through physical, chemical or biological means.
Under the industry trend of new green materials replacing traditional chemical raw materials, nanocellulose has become the preferred biomass nanomaterial for lightweight, functional and green modification in various fields with its core characteristics of natural renewable, high strength, high specific surface area, non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Conventional unmodified nanocellulose on the market has a large amount of polar hydrophilic hydroxyl groups on the surface, and has excellent water phase dispersion, thickening and water retention properties. However, the strong hydrophilic properties bring great application limitations: in oil-phase solvents, oily systems, polymer resins, and non-polar coatings, problems such as agglomeration and flocculation, stratification sedimentation, and interface peeling are prone to occur. Uniform dispersion and functional loading cannot be achieved. For a long time, it has been difficult to adapt to the production process and performance standards of high-end coatings, rubber-plastic composite materials, oil-based cosmetics, and waterproof functional materials. Nanjing Tianlu Nanotechnology Co., Ltd. focuses on the core technological bottleneck of the industry and deeply engages in the research, development and industrialization of nanocellulose surface modification technology. Through independent and controllable refined surface
In many fields such as new materials, daily chemicals, coatings, biomedicine, and agricultural preparations, particle delamination, precipitation, turbidity, and system instability are core problems that have long plagued formula development and product storage. Traditional thickening and suspension additives mostly rely on chemical viscosity and molecular adsorption to achieve suspension effects. They have shortcomings such as large amounts of addition, easy deterioration, heavy hand feel, and poor high and low temperature stability. Nanocellulose, as a purely natural, degradable, high-performance bio-based nanomaterial, relies on its unique nanomorphology and rheological characteristics to create a purely physical, highly stable, reversible and adjustable suspension system, becoming a new generation of green suspension substrate to replace traditional additives. Nanjing Tianlu Nanotechnology Co., Ltd., a high-tech enterprise deeply involved in the field of nanocellulose, focuses on the green preparation, refined research and development and industrial application of nanocellulose. It relies on its own core processes to polish high-performance products, fully releasing the excellent suspension empowerment value of the material, and providing stable and reliable solutions for various industries.
