Published on 2019-09-16. Edited By : SpecialChem

Evonik_Drivosol_PropellentEvonik’s propellent gas ingredient DRIVOSOL® is a perfect fit for deodorants and hair spraying can products because it does not contain any unwanted odors. Evonik uses additional tank trailers to transport the aerosol propellant, DRIVOSOL® which helps in surviving the summer without unpleasant odors.

Features of DRIVOSOL®


  • Meets high requirements for odor neutrality.
  • New truck fleet expands logistics capacity.
  • An ingredient in deodorants due to rise in temperature in summer.
  • Customers can customize individual mixes using new online tool.

To get the odor inhibitor out of the can propellant gas is required. When the pressure is applied gas liquifies and get mixed with an active ingredient. The technique is same in all spraying can products like deodorants, hairspray, shaving foam, paints and lacquers. Personal care products have more specific requirements when compared to paints and varnishes as they are less about odor and more about other properties.

New Online Tool to Customize Ratio of DRIVOSOL®


  • Evonik combines high product standards with digitalization.
  • This allows customers to customize the ratio of DRIVOSOL® components via an online tool.
  • The desired ratio is then mixed in the tanker trailer.
  • Advantage: no downtimes, no storage, and above all, immediate delivery to the customer.

Sarah Kranz, Marketing Manager Specialties at Evonik Performance Intermediates said, “Evonik is one of the biggest players in the hotly contested propellant market. Customers come primarily from the cosmetics industry. Most of them use DRIVOSOL® as a propellant for deodorants, shaving foams, dry shampoos, or hair mousse. Suppliers of oven, insect, paint or shoe sprays as well as lighter manufacturers are also among the customers. In addition, there have already been initial successful attempts to use DRIVOSOL® in medical sprays to improve the external application of the ingredients."
