100% bio-based. Natrasense™ fatty alcohol ethoxylates are surfactants formed by reacting 100% bio-based ethylene oxide with a 100% bio-based fatty alcohol. 100% bio-based ethylene oxide is made from 100% bio-based ethanol, derived from corn, sugar cane or biomass. The 100% bio-based fatty alcohol is derived from either palm oil, palm kernel oil, or coconut oil. The NATRASENSE™ series contains both hydrophilic and lipophilic products. Depending on the HLB value, NATRASENSE™ surfactants can be used to form either oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions or water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, as well as to solubilize oils and improve wetting. Their performance as solubilizers is considered to be outstanding. The NATRASENSE™ family specifically out-performs and is designed to replace nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs/APEs). NATRASENSE™ fatty alcohol ethoxylates are widely used in many personal care applications as well as industrial cleaning, fiber finish, crop protection, water treatment, paints and coatings, lubricants
