Mineral oil aqueous gel matrices: HenkelRecent Research Landscape

Pest control efficacy is lost through rapid evaporation and poor surface adhesion of active ingredients. These innovations utilize specific volatile ketones and gel matrices to control release rates and spatial distribution.

What technical problems is Henkel addressing in Mineral oil aqueous gel matrices?

Pesticide runoff and volatilization

(4)evidences

Active ingredients like fipronil and 2-undecanone suffer from rapid dissipation or environmental degradation. Extending the effective lifespan of these volatile or unstable compounds ensures continuous protection in open spaces.

Premature fragrance evaporation

(3)evidences

Volatile aromatic compounds dissipate too rapidly from mineral oil and aqueous substrates. Controlling release rates extends the sensory duration and functional lifespan of the product.
