BN18-I2



Boron Nitride is a lubricious ceramic material that is suitable as a bulking agent. BN18-I2 is a shiny powder with a mean particle size of 18 microns that has been surface treated with Kobo's patented ITT (Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate) treatment.

Boron Nitride is suitable as a bulking agent/filler due to its excellent spreadability, skin adherence, coverage, softness and pay-off. Boron Nitride can form with a variety of different particle sizes and crystal morphologies, leading to diverse optical properties and feel.

The ITT treatment forms a uniform coating of lipophilic isostearate groups, which greatly improves the dispersibility of powders in various organic vehicles such as esters, natural oils and hydrocarbons. ITT treatment reduces oil absorption of powders so they can be used at substantially higher loading in formulations without causing a dramatic viscosity increase. ITT treatment has good skin affinity due to the isostearate surface groups, making the treated powders suitable for use in non-greasy cream-to-powders, lipsticks, liquid foundations, eye shadows, sun care formulations, etc.
