Features & Benefits

Product Highlights

Rhamnolipids are an anionic glycolipid class of biosurfactants that have been generally characterized by their low surface and interfacial tension and their excellent emulsification properties at low concentrations. However, high cost due to their limited production scale-up hindered their widespread use. BioSS® RL combines its rhamnolipid with its GlucoSpike® surfactant synergist, creating extraordinarily high performance at lower concentrations, thus presenting formulators opportunities to incorporate this unique biosurfactant into cost-effective and environmentally friendly products across multiple market segments. BioSS® RL has been submitted to the EPS Safer Choice program and is in review.
