Products

Mosselman Pelargonic Acid (112-05-0) is a linear, saturated synthetic carboxylic acid with a chain length of 9 carbons. It is a clear liquid which is mostly used as a raw material for further esterification.

Mosselman Carnauba Wax Prime Yellow (8015-86-9) occurs on the leaves of a species of palm copernica prunifera (synonym to copernica cerifera) which grows in Brazil. Carnauba-wax is used in floor wax, polishes for shoes, furniture and cars. It is also used in cosmet-ics, leather finishes as well as for miscellaneous other purposes.

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 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 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 12-hydroxystearic Acid (61790-39-4, 106-14-9) is a saturated fatty acid derived from hydrogenated castor oil. The hydroxyl groups are responsible for the unique properties and applications.

Mosselman Tall Oil Fatty Acids N (61790-12-3) 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 Lauryl Alcohol (112-53-8) or n-dodecanol is a primary fatty alcohol obtained by hydrogenation of its fatty methyl ester. Main applications are for the production of fatty alcohol sulfates, fatty alcohol ethoxylates and fatty alcohol ether sulfates.
