Did you know?
Bioataraxis is derived from the Greek word ‘ataraxia’, meaning ’serene calmness’ or a state of complete satisfaction with life.
Furan based surfactants
Our furan-based surfactants can be formulated in many different ways to meet specific targets and strong environmental credentials.
EcoSaf
We have developed new furan-based surfactants derived from waste biomass, which is otherwise disposed of. In this way we are contributing to a circular economy, something which is vital to the future health of our planet.
