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 Amide KDK is derived from a 2 : 1 molar reaction of diethanolamine and coconut fatty acids. They contain approximately 70 % amide dissolved in unreacted dietahnolamine and fatty acid soap. The soap acts as an auxilary surfactant which contributes to water solubility and thickening properties. Amide KDK is an exellent detergent and emulsifier and shows good water solubility and exellent detergency.

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 Stearic Acid 1855 Flakes (67701-03-5) is the most common saturated fatty acid occurring in natural fats. The commercial stearic acid contains palmitic and stearic acid.

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 First Pression (8001-79-4) is the vegetable oil obtained from the seed of the castor tree “Ricinus communis” It contains a major amount of hydroxy acid.

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 Palm Kernel Oil Refined (8023-79-8) from kernels of the oil palm Elaeis guineensis. Although referred to as an oil, palm kernel oil solidifies at ambient temperatures. Its low melting point is not caused by a high degree of unsaturation, but by the low average molecular weight of its glycerides. It is used mainly is soap and in food products.

Mosselman Stearic Acid 1840 (67701-03-5) is the most common saturated fatty acid occuring in natural fats. The commercial stearic acid contains palmitic and stearic acid. Stearic acid is used in the manufacture of stearates, lubricants, soaps, cosmetics etc. Further applications are in rubber compounds, coatings, food packaging and candles.

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 Stearic Acid 1855 EP 10.4 (67701-03-5) is the most common saturated fatty acid occuring in natural fats and oils. The commercial stearic acid contains palmitic and stearic acid.
