Trilon® is a broad product range of high-performance and innovative complexing agents, also known as chelating agents. Trilon® chelating agents belong mainly to the class of amino carboxylates which are organic complexing agents. Chelating agents are able to prevent the deleterious impact of metal ions in technical applications. The presence of free metal ions, such as iron, copper, calcium, manganese, and further other metals, reduces the efficiency or quality of the product due to their catalytic activity, precipitation, or increased microbial growth. Trilon® chelating agents are applied in the manufacture of pulp- and paper, electronic or chemical surface treatment processes, bleaching processes in the textile/leather industry, and versatile chemical processes where metal ions can negatively impact the process.

Lutensol® grades are nonionic surfactants used as wetting agents and low foaming surfactants, emulsifiers.

Pluronic® types are chemically EO/PO or PO/EO block polymers used as dispersants. Pluronic® grades offer specialized properties making them ideal for improving electroplating processes.

Plurafac® grades are fatty alcohol alkoxylates. They are petrochemically sourced and are low-foaming nonionic surfactants. They consist of alkoxylated, predominantly unbranched fatty alcohols, and they contain higher alkene oxides alongside ethylene oxide. The fatty alcohol chains of some Plurafac® types terminate in an alkyl group. Their most important properties are wetting, low-foaming, or even defoaming. They are used in versatile chemical-technical applications to ensure a smooth process flow. BTC’s low-foaming surfactants are used in the paper & pulp industry or in the metal treatment industry, especially in metalworking fluids. Also in wood-based fiber production, textile pre-treatment, and coatings formulations.

Xangold® is mainly applicable in dietary suppliments and for food fortification.

Protectol® types are biocides that are rated as active substances under the European Biocidal Products Regulation. Protectol® products are used for human hygiene purposes as well as for the disinfection of surfaces, materials, equipment, and furniture and for veterinary hygiene purposes.
