We are pleased to announce that Niacet NIAPROOF® Anionic Surfactant 08 has been granted CleanGredients® certification by the U.S. Environmental Protection agency. CleanGredients® formulation ingredients are approved for use in thousands of products with the Design for Environment (DfE) label.

Niaproof® Anionic Surfactant 08 preserves the delicate emulsification balance between a fast breaking system and rapid re-emulsification which is necessary for high speed printing operations. It is an ideal surfactant to mitigate key formulation challenges.

Colloidal silicas are aqueous dispersions of amorphous silica nanoparticles that are useful as binders, surface modifiers, and flocculants.

SeaSpen® carrageenan is a renewably-sourced, biodegradable hydrocolloid and gelling agent.  These carrageenans provide critical functionality in several industrial applications, including coatings, inks, agriculture, and more.  

METHOCEL™ is an ideal suspending agent for tailoring grain size, porosity, and bulk density of PVC resin grains.  This allows PVC resin manufacturers to create a wide variety of resins that have specific attributes necessary for each end-use application.
