About Basf Tinosorb M
Basf Tinosorb M
Demand is high for sunscreens with broad-spectrum UV filters. Tinosorb® M provides the broadest-possible UV protection based on micro-fine organic particle technology.
The photo-stable UV filter functions in the water phase and thus combines soluble components in the oil phase. It is highly efficient at low concentration, free of preservatives and can be processed cold. Tinosorb® M is the filter of choice for sun care and face care concepts that meet the demand for broadest-possible protection.
Advanced UV Protection TechnologyTinosorb M employs nano-sized Bisoctrizole particles for broad-spectrum UVA and UVB filtration. Its inorganic-organic hybrid structure provides effective sun protection and photo-stability, making it a standout choice for next-generation sun care products.
Formulation Flexibility and CompatibilityThis UV filter is easily dispersible in water, offering convenience for various formulation processes. With a recommended use level of up to 10% and pH stability between 5.5 and 8.0, manufacturers can develop an array of innovative products tailored to diverse needs.
Reliable Shelf Life and HandlingTinosorb M is supplied as a stable dispersion or powder, packed in options like 20 kg drums, with a shelf life of 24 months. Its recommended processing temperature (25C40C) ensures ease of integration into your production workflow.
FAQs of Basf Tinosorb M:
Q: How is Tinosorb M typically used in cosmetic and sun care formulations?
A: Tinosorb M is commonly incorporated into personal care and sunscreen products at concentrations of up to 10%. It should be dispersed in the aqueous phase during the formulation process, maintaining the processing temperature between 25C and 40C for optimal results.
Q: What benefits does Tinosorb M offer compared to traditional UV filters?
A: Tinosorb M provides superior broad-spectrum protection by absorbing both UVA and UVB light. Its nanoparticulate structure and inorganic-organic hybrid composition enhance stability, compatibility, and minimize whitening on the skin, making it suitable for modern, transparent formulations.
Q: When should Tinosorb M be added during the product manufacturing process?
A: For best results, Tinosorb M should be added early in the formulation process, typically when preparing the aqueous phase. This ensures uniform dispersion of the nanoparticles, maximizing UV protection across the final product.
Q: Where can manufacturers source Tinosorb M in India?
A: Tinosorb M is available through authorized distributors, importers, suppliers, and wholesalers across India. Packaging options, such as 20 kg drums or customized sizes, can be arranged based on production requirements.
Q: What is the suggested storage condition and shelf life for Tinosorb M?
A: The product should be stored in its original, tightly closed container at a controlled room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Under suitable conditions, it remains stable and effective for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
Q: How does the water-dispersible nature of Tinosorb M benefit formulators?
A: Tinosorb Ms water-dispersibility allows for easy incorporation into various formulations, facilitating uniform distribution and efficient UV protection, especially in emulsion-based and water-based products.
Q: What applications is Tinosorb M most suitable for?
A: Tinosorb M is ideal for use in sunscreens, daily moisturizers with UV protection, and a wide range of personal care formulations requiring effective and stable sun protection performance.
