Products

Mosselman Sorbitan Monooleate 10 EO (9005-65-6) are obtained by the ethoxylation of sorbitan esters. They are more hydro-philic than the sorbtanesters itself and are used as non-ionic surfactants and solubilizers for water insoluble active products and essential oils. In combination with the non-ethoxylated sorbitanesters, they can be used as emulsifiers for oil in water emulsion. Ethoxylated sorbitanesters find applications in cosmetics, detergents, lubricants, textile auxiliaries agrochemicals, etc.

Mosselman Sorbitan Monolaurate (1338-39-2) are non-ionic emulsifiers obtained by the esterification of dehydrated sorbitol with fatty acids. These esters are mostly water in oil emulsifiers, but they can also act as oil in water emulsifiers when they are used in combination with the ethoxylated sorbitan esters. Sorbitan esters are used in cosmetics, lubricants, textiles etc.

Mosselman Soybean Lecithin Liquid SB (8002-43-5) is the most important by-product of the edible oil processing industry. Lecithin is obtained from the oil by hydratation of the phosphatides by water, followed by recover by centrifuge and drying. Crude soyabean lecithin is the most principal source of crude lecithin. Soyalecithin is a complex mixture of phosphatides, phytoglycolipids, phytosterols, tocopherols, tri-glycerides and fatty acids.

Mosselman PEG 600 Monooleate N (9004-96-0) Polyethyleneglycol esters are the products obtained by the esterification of polyethyleneglycols with natural fatty acids. Depending the molecular weight of the polyethyleneglycol used and the mono- and diesters content, non-ionic esters with different HLB values are obtained. Polyethyleneglycol esters are mainly used as emulsifiers for oil in water emulsions. They find also application in cosmetics, lubricants, textiles, pesticides etc.

Mosselman 2-ethylhexyl Lactate (6283-86-9) is the ester of L(+) lactic acid. Lactic acid is produced by fermentation. It is used as solvent for example in agrochemicals, polymer additive or emulsions. It brings good wetting properties, low evaporation rate, good penetration, etc. It is also used as « green solvent » for digital inks and coalescing agent for water based paint.

Mosselman Castor Oil Hydrogenated (8001-78-3) is a white, odorless fat obtained by the hydrogenation of castor oil. It has very good compatibility with natural waxes. It is mostly used in the manufacture of calcium and lithium lubricating greases. These lubricating greases exhibit excellent resistance to oils and fats, water and solvents. It is also used as raw materi-al for solvent based coating systems, for alkyd resins and as processing aid for phenolic resins, poly-ethylene, PVC and rubber and as an additive in powder coatings. It is also of importance concerning the production of hot melts like paper additives. Finally it can be used as an ingredient in polishes (for cars, shoes, furniture) and in cosmetics (for creams, lipsticks,…).

Mosselman Sorbitan Sesquioleate (8007-43-0) are non-ionic emulsifiers obtained by the esterification of dehydrated sorbitol with fatty acids. These esters are mostly water in oil emulsifiers, but they can also act as oil in water emulsifiers when they are used in combination with the ethoxylated sorbitan esters. Sorbitan esters are used in cosmetics, lubricants, textiles etc.

Mosselman Tall Oil Fatty Acids 25/30 (8002-26-4) oil is a by-product in the production of wood pulp by the Kraft process. The “black liquor” which is obtained in the purification of the wood pulp which contains the sodium soap of the tall oil fatty acids and rosin acids. By acidification a mixture of fatty acids and rosin acids is obtained. By further distillation the fatty acids and the rosin acids are separated.

Mosselman Sorbitan Monolaurate 20 EO - Food Polysorbate 20 (9005-64-5) is a bio-based emulsifying agent that is ideal for use in various industries such as chemical manufacturing, textiles manufacturing, water treatment, and more. It offers excellent detergency and emulsifying properties, making it suitable for use in industrial and home care applications. The product has a lemon to amber-colored oily liquid appearance and is compatible with polymers and resins such as Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).

Mosselman Pine Oil 70% is a clear colorless to pale brownish liquid having a strong, piny odor. The main constituent is a mixture of terpene alcohols and hydrocarbons.

Mosselman Palmitic Acid 98% (57-10-3) is a saturated fatty acid with a chain length of 16 carbons occuring in natural fats. This type contains more than 98% of palmitic acid. Palmitic acid is used in the manufacture of palmitates, lubricants, soaps, cosmetics etc.
