Libra Speciality Chemicals

Librateric at both high and low active concentrations manufactured with either HCNO, PKO or fatty acid and either sodium benzoate or high pH used a preservation. It is fully REACH registered for sale worldwide and delivers excellent value along with market leading manufacturing and sustainability standards.

Libranol series of alkonolamides are a range of non-ionic surfactants that are highly compatible with most surfactant types. The compound is a viscous liquid which produces moderate foam, as well as possessing wetting and thickening properties. Alkanolamines commonly possess applications for the personal care industry, in products such as shampoo and other soaps; as well as a variety of cleaning products in the household, industrial, and institutional cleaning sectors.

Libratex series of anionic surfactants consists of dodecylbenzene sulphonic acid, its neutralised salts and dioctyl sulphosuccinates. These products are compatible with other anionic and nonionic surfactants and may be used as raw materials in the manufacture of a wide range of detergent products. The Libratex Series of products are soluble in a number of liquids from aqueous to organic solvents.

Libraphos series of phosphate esters from Libra Speciality Chemicals are anionic surfactants, suitable for use in a wide range of applicants and industries. The Libraphos series are 100% active anionic surfactants and are based on alcohols, aromatic ethoxylates or alcohol ethoxylates. Libraphos phosphate esters are manufactured by either a polyphosphoric acid route giving predominantly mono esters or by a phosphorous pentoxide route to give predominantly di-esters. These phosphate esters can then be neutralised to achieve a variety of salts. The Libraphos series of surfactants may be used in a number of applications due to their stability at high temperatures or in acidic or alkaline conditions. These attributes offer significant advantages over other surfactants.

Libramul IPA is a clear yellow-to-amber liquid product that contains isopropylamine dodecylbenzene sulphonate. As an anionic surfactant, it exhibits compatibility with both other anionic and nonionic surfactants. This versatile amine salt serves as an effective emulsifying agent for various substances, including organic solvents, waxes, and mineral oils. It is particularly well-suited for producing emulsion degreasers and kerosene-based hand-cleaning gels.

Libradet: formulated products are a synergistic blend of surfactants and foam stabilisers. Its ability to create a high-foaming product with consistent bubble size means it is well-suited to the production of lightweight foamed concrete.

Libranox series of amine oxides are excellent detergents and cleaners for global cleaning industries and sectors. The series can be applied to cleaning products, they perform as excellent detergents, as well as providing excellent foam boosting and foam stabilising properties. When used in combination with anionics like sodium lauryl ether sulphate (SLES), the detergency effect of the formulation is increased. The products are also extensively used with both sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide to produce bleach based products. The dense, stable foam produced can be used in the formulation of high alkalinity cleaning compounds.

The Libranone series contains a range of nonionic surfactant dilutions together with a number of formulated products for use in a wide range of industrial applications. Our range of Alcohol Ethoxylates can be ingredients in a range of formulations in global industries. The range is an environmentally friendly and acceptable alternative with strong performance features that improve on previous products like Alkyl Phenol Ethoxylates that have been phased out of the surfactant market.
