Evonik brings innovation with REWOFERM® SL ONE and TOMAMINE® Coupling Agents to AOCS 2019
Evonik Corporation’s Cleaning Solutions Product Line will highlight its unique portfolio of products encompassing a broad range of alcohol alkoxylates, etheramine derivatives, bio-based materials and organosilicone-based specialties during American Oil Chemists’ Society’s (AOCS) Annual Meeting 2019 on May 5 - 8 at America’s Center Convention Complex in St. Louis, Mo., in booth 317.
Evonik will also deliver a presentation and participate as session chairs during the event.
New product innovations
Affirming its commitment to sustainable chemistry, Evonik will showcase REWOFERM® SL ONE. As Derek Dagostino, director global marketing, Cleaning Solutions Product Line explains, “REWOFERM® SL ONE is the first biosurfactant offered by Evonik that is optimized for cleaning performance in detergents and home care products. Our customers are looking for ingredients based on sustainable chemistries, and we are pleased to offer this product which is produced by fermentation and using natural ingredients.”
Evonik’s new and unique biosurfactant shows an outstanding eco-toxicological profile. REWOFERM® SL ONE is biodegradable under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and fully complies with European Ecolabel requirements. Furthermore, it behaves as an exceptionally mild surfactant to the skin. This new generation of biosurfactants will convince formulators and consumers that environmental compatibility and cleaning power need not be contradictory.
Evonik will also feature Tomamine® Amphoteric coupling agents at the show. These coupling agents work alone or with another anionic, nonionic, or cationic primary surfactant to boost cleaning performance and alter the foam profiles of the final formulation. They also improve overall system stability and reduce the risk of phase separation.
