The product range consists of Foam, Deg, Wet and Sense and offers a unique combination of sustainability and high performance. It reflects the trend towards renewable feedstock instead of fossil fuel-based ingredients. GlucoPure is suitable for hand dishwashing detergents.
Evaluated Alternative GlucoTain – A new dimension in Natural mild cleansing for Hair and Skin care Glucotain is an innovative range of sugar-based mild surfactants offering sensory benefits through different foam sensorial experiences. It creates new possibilities to formulators to go to the next step in developing high Renewable Carbon Index formulations, sulfate free solutions, products designed for sensitive skin and it supports replacement of some synthetic ingredients (polyquaterniums, silicones, betaines)
Evaluated Alternative Genamin Gluco 50 – Neutralizer for waterborne paints Genamin Gluco 50 is a multifunctional paint additive for waterborne coatings. It functions as neutralizing agent, compatibilizer and stabilizer in formulations. It is used to adjust pH to around 8 – 10 to create a stable paint system with minor interactions between the paint components. Genamin Gluco 50 has favorable effects for instance on the storage and freeze-thaw stability as well as on the compatibility with pigments and the flash rust inhibition. Even in comparison to multifunctional compounds such as aminomethyl propanol (AMP), Genamin Gluco 50 often shows superior performance and therefore can be used as AMP replacement.
Evaluated Alternative Exolit® OP 560 low-emission, non-halogenated flame retardant for polyurethanes Exolit® OP 560 is a phosphorus-based flame retardant that allows meeting stringent emission and migration requirements, because it becomes an integral part of the polyrethane polymer by chemical reaction. Furthermore, stringent fire safety standards such as the FMVSS 302 (SE), BS 5852 (Crib 5), FAR 25.853 appendix F, part II and more can be passed.
Evaluated Alternative Exolit® AP non-halogenated flame retardants – making polyurethanes safer The Exolit® AP products are phosphorus-based flame retardants for polyurethanes that allow meeting stringent emission and migration requirements, because they are inorganic solids with low vapor pressure and solubility. Furthermore stringent fire safety standards such as the FMVSS 302 (SE), EN 13501-1 (E) or DIN 4102 (B2) can be passed.
Evaluated Alternative Exolit® OP non-halogenated flame retardants – Patented chemistry for more safety The Exolit® OP products are phosphorus-based flame retardants that allow polyamide and polyester compounds to achieve stringent fire safety standards such as the UL94- V0 rating down to thin thicknesses and for all colors.
