Start the Production of Facial Scrubs and Facial Cleansers

If you are looking for a simple, thriving and profitable business to start in the chemical industry, a business that might not necessarily require chemical handling permits, then one of your options is to start the production of facial scrubs and facial cleansers.

There is a huge market for these products, all you need to do to break into the market is to ensure that the prices for your products are competitive, your products are of good quality and they are well packaged and branded. You will need to start this factory from a nonresidential area. This is important because of the types of chemicals that would be in use, and that might be hazardous to people who come in contact with it.

FACILITY AND SAFETY MEASURES

Although NAFDAC does not itself state any particular specifications for the construction of a facility intended to be used for chemical manufacturing or special safety standards for use and handling of chemicals, such facility must however be in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices, and must be in line with Globally Harmonized System on the Classification, Labeling and Packaging of Chemicals. To ascertain this, NAFDAC will usually carry out a facility inspection before issuing a Listing.

LISTING CERTIFICATE

A Listing Certificate is usually issued to an applicant once NAFDAC is satisfied that all compliance requirements have been met, and all regulatory fees have been paid. This certificate is valid for two (2) years, after which the company must commence its renewal at least three (3) months before expiration.

How do you make marker ink?

The preparation method includes: under the normal temperature and pressure, adding ethanol and isopropanol into a preparation vessel, then adding fatty alcohol-polyoxyethylene ether, Solsperse series of hyperdispersant, glycerol, triethanolamine, paroline, laurate and butyl stearate, then adding PVB, stirring evenly.

What are the raw materials for marker ink?

In an ink composition for a marker pen comprising a mill base, a solvent, a plasticizer, a mold release agent, a drying retardant, and a surfactant, the mill base is 3 to 8% by weight of colored pigments, 0.3 to 1.5% by weight of a dispersant, and a resin.

Ink is manufactured in two stages: first varnish (a mixture of solvent, resins and additives) is made and then pigments are mixed into it. Varnish is a clear liquid that solidifies as a thin film. It binds the pigment to the printed surface, provides the printability of the ink and wets the pigment particles.
