Durante muchos años hemos estado explorando el concepto de ingeniería de nuevos tensioactivos utilizando nuevas tecnologías de base biológica. Los productos sostenibles de fuentes renovables existen desde hace muchos años, pero la mayoría tienen una funcionalidad muy limitada en términos de rendimiento en comparación con los contratipos sintéticos. Nuestro cometido era desarrollar una gama de productos de base biológica que ofrezcan un rendimiento comparable al de los productos sintéticos en una amplia gama de aplicaciones.

What's new for the show

Lanphos PS10 and Lanphos PS6-25A are the next generation of emulsifiers for styrene butyl acrylate systems. Unlike conventional emulsifier systems that require both an anionic emulsifier acting as the primary emulsifier and a nonionic surfactant to boost the stability, these products can be used on their own due to the high level of emulsion stability achieved. This is mainly down to the low particle size achieved during production.

We will introduce some new powerful hyperdispersants aimed at both solvent / UV-cured systems. For Aqueous formulations, we will showcase our range of fully biobased dispersing agents.

 

More information coming soon.

Defoamers are essential for good foam control. We have two products that are based on non-silicone technology.

Dfoam AX1 - a conventional mineral oil defoamer.

Dfoam AR2 - as above but contains additional hydrophobic particles.

The world is changing

Biobased Dispersing Agents

We have developed a range of bio-based surfactants using our newly patented BioLoop technology, in which the molecule has two hydrophobes, based on either soya or rapeseed, that are then connected with a hydrophilic loop originating from molasses. The two hydrophobes help to achieve maximum bonding and spacing on the particle surface to deliver superior stability and dispersing properties.

Key Features

  • Based on BioLoop technology

  • Renewable carbon index > 98%

  • Ultra-mild

  • No skin or eye irritancy

  • Low ecotoxicity

  • Biodegradable

  • A green alternative to                conventional dispersing agents

Soyabean Variants

Soyabean is from a sustainable crop and is readily available. These dispersing agents can be used in a wide range of aqueous dispersion. Lansperse BIO691 is soluble in solvent and aqueous and can be used in universal tinting formulations. Both Lansperse BIO801 and Lansperse BIO868 are dispersing agents for aqueous systems.

Rapeseed Variants

Rapeseed is a good sustainable crop with no environmental concerns. This range of products will be specifically ideal for dispersions in the cosmetics and personal care industries.
