Disponil® grades are anionic based surfactants for a wide range of applications where dynamic wetting and solubilising properties are needed. Especially their strong emulsifying and dispersing characteristics are the main property in diverse applications. They are used during the polymerization process are essential for problem-free manufacture, insitu-polymerization stabilization and can also positively influence the dispersion performance in application. Disponil® grades are free of sodium chloride and the remaining salt content of sodium sulfate is reduced to a very low limit. With regard to the 1,4 Dioxan content in fatty alcohol ether sulfates (FES) the level is reduced to a limit depending on the ethoxylation degree. Overall the content is below 150 ppm, whereas the lowest is < 5ppm. Those narrow ranged by-products of the main product are mandatory in sensitive applications like emulsion polymerisation processes. In addition most of the emulsifiers are FDA or BfR (Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung) approved.

Sokalan® range comprises dispersing agents that are used to eliminate or reduce the impact of water hardness ions during the application of the detergent or cleaning formulation. State-of-the-art laundry formulations consist of sodium polyacrylates, like our Sokalan® types.

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.

Agnique® grades are anionic surfactants or blends with anionic character and widley used in crop protection formulations (agrochemical formulations) as an adjuvant. Agnique® grades enhance the efficiency of the used pesticide by its physical-chemical properties. Agnique® products have a broad application field. They are used as wetting agents, emulsifiers compatibilizer and formulated blends.

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

Emulan® grades (C13 oxo alcohol ethoxylates) are nonionic surfactants. They are either liquid formulations, waxy substances, waxy micronized beads or flakes. The products have versatile properties like solubilizing, wetting, dispersing, and soil removal.

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.

FoamStar® products are used as defoamers. BTC’s FoamStar® defoamers suppress and destroy foam and its negative effects during inks and printing applications. By removing or inhibiting air bubbles they are important process aids throughout the production as well as the applications process. Manufacturers benefit from foam-free production processes by reaching their desired results much quicker.

Dehypon® grades are oleochemical sourced fatty alcohol alkoxylates. They are special grades which provide very low foaming properties. The physical form vary from liquid to solid, even granules are available. Dehypon® grades are versatile useable and provide properties such as wetting, soil removal, low foaming and emulsification. Dehypon® low foaming surfactants are used in versatile chemical-technical applications to ensure a smooth process flow. Application fields are besides others in the paper & pulp industry or in the metal treatment industry, especially in metalworking fluids. Also in the wood based fiber production, in textile pre-treatment and in coatings formulations BTC’s low foaming surfactants are used.

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.

Pluriol® grades are polyalkylene glycols or modified (alkyl) polyalkylene glycols. Pluriol® grades offer specialized properties making them ideal for improving electroplating processes.

Alamine® products are used as salification agents of pH regulators for agrochemical applications. Other applications of Alamine® include use as extraction reagents for recovery of rare earth metals, molybdenum, vanadium, and uranium.
