Biobased Surfactants

Until now, biosurfactants have suffered from three major problems:

1) They do less
2) Cost more
3) Can’t be manufactured at scale.

Using its own proprietary technology, Integrity BioChem’s Specialty Chemicals has solved all three of those problems.

Manufactured in the USA, and distributed by UMC, Integrity BioChem (IBC) Biobased Surfactants are sugar-based and derived from a naturally occurring, renewable source.

IBC polysaccharide chemistries improve on the existing biobased technologies and replace traditional (synthetic) products with innovative, environmentally friendly solutions. The IBC method of biopolymer synthesis and functionalization is superior to other multi-step processes, by eliminating unnecessary derivatives and by-products.

Benefits and Typical properties of IBC Biobased surfactants:
• High oil loading
• High water solubility
• Highly compatible with all types of surfactant systems
• Compatible with all different preservative packages
• Non-ionic
• Broad HLB Range: 10-19
• Broadly compatible with alcohol surfactants and amphoterics
• EO-free
• pH: 7.0-9.0
• Sulfate-free
• Produced using a low carbon footprint
• Non detectable 1,4 Dioxane levels

Some industrial applications:
• Paints
• Inks
• Coatings

Advantages of IBC Biobased surfactants in industrial applications:
• APEO Free & Bio Based
• High RCI of up to 94%, compared to a 0% RCI of synthetic surfactants
• Equal Performance to Established Synthetic surfactants
• Novel, patented technology
• Water Soluble
