Lankem

About Us

Expertise in surfactant technology

Our company strength is our chemistry and market knowledge of surfactants in particular for applications that fall within the industrial markets. The coatings industry is an important market for Lankem and falls within two main areas; coating additives, which include dispersing agents, defoamers and humectants, and emulsifiers used for emulsion polymerisation. With many years of research and development, we have products that perform to the absolute highest standards. Our company philosophy is to continue to develop new and interesting products to help the formulator bridge the demands of modern requirements. Our latest BioLoop technology is both new and novel and help to offer the formulator excellent sustainability profiling.

Lansurf AEP66

Chemical Name:Alcohols, C8-18, ethoxylated propoxylated
CAS Number:69013-18-9
Functions:Surfactant (Nonionic), Surfactant
Chemical Family:Alcohol Ethoxylates
Labeling Claims:Foreign matter-free, Biodegradable

Lansurf AEP66 is a biodegradable nonionic surfactant produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide on a synthetic primary fatty alcohol. This product is compatible with soaps, anionic, cationic and other nonionic surfactants, and wetting, detergency and low foam. This product finds application in many cleaning applications where low foaming is required such a machine dishwash applications, metal cleaning and bottle rinse formulations. Also, this product can be used in such areas as textiles, oils and lubricants, agrochemicals and paints and polymers.

BioLoop 68L-PG

Functions:Hydrophilic, Surfactant
Labeling Claims:Sustainable, Biodegradable, Palm Oil-free, Bio-based, Non-ecotoxic, Green Alternative, From Renewable Resources

BioLoop 68L-PG is a new range of bio-based surfactants containing components that are 100% renewable. This product is based on a hydrophilic loop reacted onto a vegetable oil hydrophobe, and being palm oil free has a good sustainability profile. Unlike many bio-based surfactants, this product offers excellent surfactant properties and can be used as a green alternative to the conventional synthetic nonionics, such as alcohol ethoxylate.

Lansurf SML20-FG

Functions:Anti-Fogging Agent, Emulsifier, Fiber Softener, Surfactant, Fiber Lubricant
Labeling Claims:Foreign matter-free
Applicable Processes:Emulsion Polymerization

Lansurf SMS

INCI Name:Sorbitan Laurate, Sorbitan Stearate
Functions:Surfactant, Surfactant (Nonionic), Emulsifier
Chemical Family:Sorbitan Esters

Kemsurf PWS

Functions:Emulsifier, Surfactant (Anionic), Detergent, Coupling Agent, Wetting Agent, Surfactant
CAS Number:84961-74-0
Chemical Family:Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid (LABSA)
pH:3.0 - 6.0

Kemsurf PWS is Based on a linear high 2-phenyl based alkylate. Isopropylamine salts have better solubility in hydrocarbon solvents compared to sodium salts.

Kemsurf ASC

INCI Name:Sodium Laureth Sulfate
CAS Number:68891-38-3
Functions:Emulsifier, Wetting Agent, Surfactant (Anionic), Detergent, Foam Stabilizer, Textile Fiber, Foaming Agent, Surfactant
Synonyms:Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), α-sulfo-ω-hydroxy-, C12-14-alkyl ethers, sodium salts

Kemsurf ASC is a sodium neutralized alkyl ether sulfate and finds application where foaming, wetting and detergency are required. Kemsurf ASC has good stability in the presence of high electrolyte and hard water environments. Also the product is tolerant to mildly alkaline solutions at ambient temperatures, but tends to hydrolyse in acidic solutions.
