In cosmetics, the application of plant extracts has been particularly popular because of their various advantages and natural nature. Plant Extracts for Moisturizing Skincare relies upon moisturization, and plant extracts are the stepping stones to that. Plant extracts also have hydroxyl groups in the polysaccharides and glycosides that keep water inside them with hydrogen bonds. The majority of plant polysaccharides are hygroscopic like aloe polysaccharides which are the active constituents of aloe extracts and are used in cosmetics as moisturizing raw materials. Moreover, the majority of water-soluble plant polysaccharides like cactus polysaccharides, astragalus polysaccharides, schizonepeta polysaccharides and dendrobium officinale polysaccharides absorb water well. Plant Extracts for Barrier Repairing Barrier repair agents help in building the skin barrier function and skin health during the skin care. Phytoelements such as licorice root, green tea, chamomile etc help to repair and...

The resin bond diamond (RBD) is mutil-stalline diamond superhard abrasive specially produced for resin bond abrasives, which is composed of many subcrystals with embedded structure. In most cases, the resin binder system is phenolic resin or polyimide resin. In special cases, special resin binder and suitable additives may be used make the resin bond diamond more widely applicable. Resin bond diamond has irregular crystal shape, rough surface, excellent brittleness and excellent self-sharpening. Characteristics The excellent quality of high grinding efficiency, long life and high finish provides the best performance for resin bond abrasives, the details are as follows: Extremely high grinding efficiency and abrasive utilization : Under a certain grinding force, multicrystal particles are easy to fracture along the interface between subgrains. After the small abrasive subgrains are separated from the crystal particles, the new irregular shape subgrains form sharp edge angles on the cry...
