Provides a liquid base for a product.

Naphtha (petroleum), hydrotreated heavy is a carrier that may also be found in coatings and lubricants. It helps carry a product to a surface by thinning or thickening the formula or simply ensuring even distribution of the other ingredients in the formula. We use it because without a carrier, the product would not work with the same consistency across a surface.

Butane is a propellant used to dispense a product from a container. It is often used in concert with other propellants such as isobutane and propane. While butane is commonly known for its use in heaters and lighters, in use as a propellant its energy comes from being compressed in a can rather than from being lit or heated.

Propane is a propellant used to dispense a product from a container. It is often used in concert with other propellants such as butane and isobutane. While propane is commonly known for its use as a fuel, for example for grills and portable stoves, in use as a propellant its energy comes from being compressed in a can rather than from being lit or heated.

Dimethicone is a silicone film former that can also be found in skin lotions, bath soaps and shampoos. Sometimes referred to as “silicone oil,” dimethicone is the most widely used silicone polymer and is particularly known for its ability to smoothly coat a surface and leave it protected, without being sticky. In products that are applied to the skin, dimethicone can also be used as an emollient that helps soften and smooth the skin. In household products, it creates a protective coating or shine on a surface. In our products to protect leather, it helps increase the gloss. Dimethicone also can be a moisturizer. As a moisturizer, it helps prevent a product or surface, like leather, from drying out by helping it retain moisture. This makes it softer and more pliable.

Coconut Acid is an emulsifier that can also be found in soaps and cosmetics, including facial creams and lotions. We add emulsifiers to our products, where needed, to ensure that our products provide the same performance use after use. Over time, it is possible for formulas in a product to separate. An emulsifier helps oil mix into water.

Ammonium hydroxide is commonly referred to as "ammonia." Many consumers use it at home for cleaning and laundry. It’s a cleaning agent, or "surfactant," that removes dirt, and it can also be used as a pH adjuster that alters the pH of a product to improve stability. Every formula has an optimum pH to make it work best. For example, a formula that’s more acidic works better for soap scum removal. Its opposite, a formula that’s more alkaline, might be more effective at removing grease or greasy soils. We use pH adjusters to make sure we achieve the best pH for a particular job. Also, the pH of a formula can affect how long it lasts within a container – for example limiting its tendency to corrode a can, container or dispenser. Household ammonia has a strong odor; by using ammonium hydroxide in combination with other ingredients, we can achieve the same cleaning results while using much less ammonia.
