Products

The ALKEST® CSO product line is composed of surfactants resulting from the reaction of castor oil with ethylene oxide (EO). Depending on the number of ethylene oxide units (degree of ethoxylation), products with various values of HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) are obtained,allowing these products to be used in a wide range of applications.

The ALKEST® CSO 540 is composed of surfactants resulting from the reaction of castor oil with ethylene oxide (EO). By increasing the degree of ethoxylation, the hydrophilic character of the molecule is increased (higher HLB), which represents increasing water solubility, cloud points and pour points. This product can be used as emulsifier, antistatic agent, lubricant and solubilizer in various markets and product applications.

EMCAplus® 180 is made up of white mineral oil. It is colorless, odorless and non- fluorescent in the light of day, meeting the FDA and USP standards for parameters for neutrality and solid paraffin, polynuclear compounds and easily carbonized substances content. The products in the EMCAplus® line are made with raw materials obtained from fractions of petroleum distillate that undergo a special treatment process, unique in Brazil, that qualifies them as USP white mineral oils of high purity. Due to their predominantly paraffinic nature, they are distributed in a wide range of viscosities. It is ideal for use in foods, agrochemicals, cosmetics and personal care, pharmacy and veterinary use, functional fluids, resins, textiles and inks, adhesives and hot melts. EMCAplus® 180 can be used as a base for body creams and lotions, tanning oils, hair oils, pomades and creams, body pomades, and light-protecting lotions and as a moisturizer in shaving lotions.

The ULTRAPEG® product line is made up of ethylene oxide polymers. It is represented by the following general formula: HO(CH2CH2O)nH According to the degree of ethoxylation(n), products with different molecular weights and melting points can be obtained, which allows the use of these products in various applications. The hydrophilicity of the polyoxyethylene chain from the ULTRAPEG® product line allows for the obtention of a hygroscopic polymer which is highly water soluble. By varying the molecular weight, liquid or solid products may be obtained, covering a wide range of viscosities and consistencies.

EMCAplus® 300 is made up of white mineral oil. It is colorless, odorless and non- fluorescent in the light of day, meeting the FDA and USP standards for parameters for neutrality and solid paraffin, polynuclear compounds and easily carbonized substances content.

EMCAplus® 300 can be used as a base for body creams and lotions, tanning oils, hair oils, pomades and creams, body pomades, and light-protecting lotions. This product typically has a density between 0.8540 and 0.8730 g/cm^3 at 20ºC.
