ACROBUTE® MB Series – Ultra‑High‑Molecular‑Weight PPG Butyl Ether Emollients
About the ACROBUTE® MB Series
The ACROBUTE® MB Series is a family of unique, high‑molecular‑weight PPG butyl ethers produced using NOF’s proprietary manufacturing technology.
Unlike conventional PPG derivatives, ACROBUTE® MB materials feature an asymmetric molecular weight distribution that includes ultra‑high‑molecular‑weight components while maintaining fluidity.
This advanced molecular structure delivers exceptional lubricity and sensorial performance, exceeding that of silicones during rinsing, and provides smoothness, richness, and moisture in various cosmetic formulations.
Structure
ACROBUTE® MB Series consists of polyether‑based emollients (PPG butyl ethers) with an asymmetric molecular weight distribution that incorporates ultra‑high‑molecular‑weight domains.
This structure enables unique rheological and sensorial behavior, combining fluid handling properties with high lubricity and rich after‑feel
