Furan based surfactants, sustainable chemical products
Our furan-based surfactants can be formulated to meet specific targets for different applications delivering strong environmental credentials.
How it is made
Our furan based surfactant is produced through our Ecosaf technology using waste biomass as raw material.
Benefits of this process
Our goal is to license our technology so that chemical producers can benefit from this green technology to create their own cleaning products. If you are looking for a sustainable chemical alternative, get in touch with us to discuss working together.
What sets us apart
New class of biobased surfactants
Which can deliver strong green credentials to your final formulation which offsets the carbon emissions.
Benefits in hard water
Furan surfactants are well known to exhibit high resistance in calcium rich environment avoiding the usage of builders.
Benefits in cold washing.
The formulation delivers high performances in cold washing, allowing to reduce the energy usage in a laundry washing and offset the carbon footprint.
A trade-off between price and performances
With this product we aim to deliver a cost-effective cleaning product which can perform as well as the conventional fossil fuel based ones.
Our Furan building blocks
Step 1
The hemicellulosic fraction is used to produce furan based building blocks.
Step 2 & 3
This is catalytically treated in further two steps to create the functionality required for the synthesis of the surfactant.
Step 4
In the last step, we perform a sulfonation to produce our final surfactant.
