Our Life Science & Surfactants division specialises in formulation chemistry for cosmetics, personal care, hygiene and detergency product solutions.
Surfactants, or surface active agents, are compounds that decrease surface tension between substances. Their hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties help them to stabilise and emulsify product formulations.
We manufacture, supply and distribute different types of surfactants to suit your application. This includes anionic, nonionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactants, as well as naturally-derived, biodegradable alkyl polyglucosides (APGs) for eco-conscious formulations.
We also offer chelates, hydrotropes, liquid phosphate blends, phosphonates, rheology modifiers and preservatives to help formulators across personal care, cosmetics and cleaning create high-performance, industry-leading products.
For advice choosing the right products for your requirements, contact our life science product specialists.
Alkyl polyglucosides (APGs) are a class of nonionic surfactant derived from renewable plant-based sources.
Amphoteric surfactants, which have zero net charge, are commonly used in household and industrial cleaners and personal care products. They help to reduce the surface tension across a wide pH range, enhancing formulation effectiveness.
Anionic surfactants, which contain a head with a negative charge, are frequently used in laundry detergents and shampoos. They work to remove dirt and stains by reducing water surface tension.
Cationic surfactants carry a positive charge and are used in personal care, fabric care, household and specialist cleaning formulations.
Chelates are compounds that bind with metal ions, helping to improve the stability, performance and shelf life of a wide range of formulations.
Our liquid phosphate blends offer a range of properties, including buffering, thickening, dispersion, emulsification and scale inhibition.
Nonionic surfactants have a neutral charge and reduce the surface tension of water, improving ingredient mixing and cleaning performance.
Phosphonates help to soften water and inhibit corrosion. They are commonly used in cleaning, detergency and cosmetics applications.
For preventing risk of microbial contamination from bacteria, mould and yeast in personal care and cosmetics products.
Also known as viscosity modifiers or thickening agents, rheology modifiers are additives used to alter the flow behaviour and mechanical properties of a material.
