Performance Chemicals

Nonionic surfactants based on fatty-alcohol ethoxylates can be considered for industrial cleaning and other formulations that require wetting or emulsifying functions. Selection depends on the ingredients, phase behavior and intended use.

Oil-phase dispersing components are available for inorganic particles in nonpolar or weakly polar media. Evaluate dispersion, settling and redispersion with the actual particle, carrier and preparation method.

Fatty-acid amide ingredients, including erucamide, provide options for slip and processing functions in plastics and related formulations. Review compatibility with the polymer and the requirements of the finished material.

Share the function you need, the base formulation and the evaluation conditions. Performance should be assessed in the intended system rather than inferred from an ingredient alone.
