Citrate Esters smooth operators in personal care - have been on the market for decades and are well established in various applications. The pharmacological and ecological safety of citrate esters turns them to versatile ingredients in the personal care industry with excellent dermatological compatibility.The plasticising properties of CITROFOL® BII give nail lacquer improved elasticity and vaporization of solvent after application. Additionally the film is well protected against UV-light.

Jungbunzlauer Suisse AG Citric Acid Anhydrous is supplied in accordance with the current requirements of the European Pharmacopeia (Ph. Eur), the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC), and the Commission Regulation (EU) No. 231/2012.Citric acid is the most widely used organic acid and pH-control agent in foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals and technical applications. Citric acid anhydrous occurs as colorless crystals or as white, crystalline powder with a strongly acidic taste. It is very soluble in water, freely soluble in ethanol (96 %) and sparingly soluble in ether. Citric acid anhydrous is non-toxic and has a low reactivity. It is chemically stable if stored at ambient temperatures.Citric acid anhydrous is fully biodegradable and can be disposed of with regular waste or sewage.

CITROFOL® BI (Tributyl citrate TBC) is a natural based universal floor-polish plasticiser for all coating-compatible floorings for such PVC, Lino, natural rubber and other special synthetic materials, as well as hard floors. CITROFOL® BI is registered as bio-preferred by the USDA.

Sodium gluconate EMF 1240 is the mother liquor of the sodium gluconate (CAS-No. 527-07-1) production, having similar properties to dry sodium gluconate. Non-corrosive, non-toxic and easily biodegradable, sodium gluconate EMF 1240 is getting more and more appreciated as concrete set retarding and plasticising agent.

Jungbunzlauer CITROFOL® AII has been pre-registered according to REACH Regulation at the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).CITROFOL® AII is a versatile citric acid ester. As a result of its pharmacological safety, its use is especially desirable in products serving the medical, pharmaceutical and food contact sectors. In pharmaceutical applications CITROFOL® AII contributes as plasticiser to the performance of enteric-coated tablets. For personal care applications like nail lacquer, CITROFOL® AII provides beside good plasticising properties also excellent lightfastness.

Jungbunzlauer Suisse AG Sodium Gluconate is supplied in accordance with the latest requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) and of Commission Regulation (EU) No. 231/2012.Sodium gluconate is the sodium salt of gluconic acid, produced by fermentation of glucose. It is a white to tan, granular to fine, crystalline powder, very soluble in water. Non corrosive, non-toxic and readily biodegradable (98 % after 2 days), sodium gluconate is more and more appreciated as chelating agent. The outstanding property of sodium gluconate is its excellent chelating power, especially in alkaline and concentrated alkaline solutions. It forms stable chelates with calcium, iron, copper, aluminum and other heavy metals, and in this respect, it surpasses all other chelating agents, such as EDTA, NTA and related compounds.Aqueous solutions of sodium gluconate are resistant to oxidation and reduction, even at high temperatures. However, it is easily degraded biologically (98 % after 2 days), and thus presents no wastewater problem.Sodium gluconate is also a highly efficient set retarder and a good plasticiser / water reducer for concrete, mortar and gypsum.And last but not least, it has the property to inhibit bitterness in foodstuffs.

Jungbunzlauer Suisse AG Tripotassium Citrate is supplied in accordance with the requirements of the Food Chemical Codex (FCC), the US Pharmacopeia (USP), the European Pharmacopeia (Ph.Eur.) and the Commission Regulation (EU) No. 231/2012 always in their latest versions.It is produced by complete neutralization of citric acid with a high purity potassium source and subsequent crystallization. Tripotassium citrate is used in foods, beverages, and technical applications as buffering, sequestering or emulsifying agent. It usually replaces trisodium citrate whenever a low sodium content is desired. In pharmaceuticals it is used as potassium source and as active ingredient to treat urinary duct stones. When added to oral care products, tripotassium citrate is the active ingredient to reduce the sensitivity of the teeth. Tripotassium citrate occurs as transparent crystals or a white, granular powder. It is an odorless substance with a cooling, salty taste. It is slightly deliquescent when exposed to moist air, freely soluble in water and almost insoluble in ethanol (96%). In contrary to other potassium salts, it is less bitter and thus can be used at higher concentration levels. Tripotassium citrate is a non-toxic, slightly alkaline salt with low reactivity. It is chemically stable if stored at ambient temperatures. In its monohydrate form it is very hygroscopic and must be protected from exposure to humidity. Care must be taken not to expose tripotassium citrate monohydrate to high pressure during transport and storage as this may result in caking. Being a leading producer of tripotassium citrate, Jungbunzlauer is able to provide a very promising natural alternative flame retardant for solid wood. The food-approved substance is safe and easy in handling. Furthermore, tripotassium Citrate is one of the few fully biodegradable and non-toxic flame retardants.

Jungbunzlauer Suisse AG Citric Acid Monohydrate is a natural occurring fruit acid, produced commercially by microbial fermentation of a carbohydrate substrate. It acts as an excellent pH regulator and odorless buffering agent for bath and shower gels, creams, styling or decorative products. Citric acid is both ECOCERT and COSMOS approved.
