Who Should Attend
The course should be of value to those working with
cosmetic/toiletry products focusing on the potential use
of Siloxane technology, as well as to those in industry and
research laboratories interested in a basic understanding of
the Siloxane technology and applications thereof.
The course is intended primarily for entry and mid level
development technologists looking for the broad
understanding of functional Siloxane materials. The course
should provide an up-to-date refresher for experienced
individuals as well. Chemists, formulators and process
engineers from the field of cosmetics, toiletries,
pharmaceuticals and bioengineering industries will benefit
from the opportunity to understand more about the chemistry,
synthesis and processes, formulations, and regulatory and
safety parameters for use in personal care.
Description
This course is intended to provide a comprehensive review of
the chemistry and physical fundamentals and performance of
different types of functional Siloxanes. There will be significant
emphasis on how Siloxane's unique chemistry influences the
physical properties and how one can harness this uniqueness
to formulate and develop functional products that match
consumer needs.
The instructors, both with many years of experience in this
area, will present the latest available information, as well as
trends regarding the field of Siloxanes. Though the course will
be structured, there will be open discussion and opportunities
for debate about specific problems and needs of participants.
