| Treated Pigments & Powders |
| Powders and pigments may be modified to make their surface water repellent (hydrophobic), oil dispersible (lipophilic), both lipophobic and hydrophobic (perfluoro treatments), or hydrophilic. Other objectives of surface treating are to reduce surface activity, improve skin compatibility, physical or chemical stability and enhance pigment loading in formulas. |

| Jojoba Ester Treatment |
| Kobo's patent pending process enables pigment particles to be rendered hydrophobic with this treatment. This treatment offers a creamy feel and good affinity to the skin. Due to their good pressabilty these products are recommended for use in powders, as well as emulsions and hot pours. |

| Crosspolymer Treatments |
| These new, patented treatments combine ITT and either silane
(ITT/Triethoxycaprylylsilane), methicone (ITT/methicone) or dimethicone (ITT/Dimethicone)
to form a crosspolymer at the surface of the pigment, making them "super-dispersible" in esters,
silicones and hydrocarbons. Treated pigments and powders have excellent hydrophobicity, stability over a wide range of pH and a better affinity for the skin than common silicone coatings. ITT/methicone crosspolymer treatment also has the advantage of a very low hydrogen potential. |

| Branched Alkyl Silane Treatment |
| This treatments allows high pigment loadings with low viscosity (pourable) dispersions and excellent stability (no gelling, settling, or vehicle separation). |

| Polyether Alkoxysilane Treatment : Hydrophilic Coating |
| New treatment using a Polyether Alkoxysilane (PEG-8 Silane) as an hydrophilic coating for pigments and powders. Compared to non treated pigment, PEG-8 Silane . coated pigments premixes in water have a much lower viscosity, revealing a higher wetting of their surface. |

| ITT Treatment |
| Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate (ITT) surface treatment is one of Kobo's patented
technologies. ITT treated pigments and powders can easily be dispersed in many esters,
mineral oils or hydrocarbons at over 80% solids. ITT treated pigments and powders are used to develop dry feeling cream-to-powder formulas or liquid foundations, cheek color, eye shadow and sunscreen formulations. They also have excellent affinity to the skin. ITT treatment is patented and approved for use globally. |

| Hybrid Treatments |
| Pigments & powders are treated with both Perfluoroalcohol Phosphate and methicone (FS01), acryl silicone copolymer (FSA) or silane (FOTS) in one step, without forming a crosspolymer. Like PF treated pigments, FS01, FSA or FOTS combine the advantages of both treatments and exhibit strong water and oil repellency. |

| Amino Silicone Treatment |
| Amino Silicone surface treatment is a new technology patented by Kobo. It is especially suitable for hard-to-coat pigments and powders and have been successfully used on organic lakes, iron oxides, titanium dioxides and sericite. The treated products are extremely hydrophobic and highly compatible with the skin. |

| Silane Treatment |
| Triethoxy Caprylylsilane treated pigments and powders are easy to disperse in esters, mineral oils and silicone fluids, and higher pigment loading can be achieved as compared to methicone treated pigments. They also have zero hydrogen potential and no residual methanol. |

| Perfluoroalcohol Phosphate(PF) Treatment |
| PF treated pigments and powders show both water and oil repellency. With them in formulations, it is possible to achieve long lasting make-up resilient to perspiration and sebum, promoting a more natural appearance. |
