TERRAVIS surfactant product line is specifically tailored for various oilfield applications which include dispersants, wetting agents, emulsifiers and organoclay activators.

MARLOWET ether carboxylic acids are low foaming anionic surfactants. They are based on alcohols from C9 to C18, with different alkoxylation degrees. The MARLOWET product range is a water soluble lubricant efficient in hard water and active at extreme pH. It can be used in various applications including as a corrosion inhibitor (organic anti-corrosion agent), wetting agent, defoamer, hydrophilic emulsifier for water based metalworking fluids and exhibits high lime soap dispersing properties.

Sasol Chemicals' ISOFOL Alcohols are primary, saturated alcohols with defined branching of the carbon chain. Such alcohols are chemically described as 2-alkyl-1-alkanols and also referred to as Guerbet alcohols. ISOFOL Alcohols are high purity alcohols which offer excellent oxidative and color stability. They are available with even carbon chain lengths of 12 to 28. Additionally, the twin 100% linear alkyl branches of the ISOFOL Alcohols give a lower viscosity and better biodegradability than dimer alcohols derived from oxoalcohols. The unique chemical structure of the ISOFOL Alcohols also provides good solubility and solvency. The various derivatives synthesized from ISOFOL Alcohols maintain many of the beneficial properties of the parent alcohol.

ALFOL® is a blend of high purity petrochemical-based linear primary alcohols. They are physically and chemically equivalent to corresponding oleochemical based alcohols derived from such sources as coconut oil or palm oil.

LIPOXOL, polyethylene glycol (PEGs), are essential auxiliaries in numerous application fields like household products and also serve as intermediates for the manufacture of emulsifiers. LIPOXOL grades provide a unique property profile, combining high water solubility, lubricity and low toxicity with excellent solvent properties. Our LIPOXOL products have various functions in various industries including acting as a solvent in cleaners and a binder in detergents and tablets.

SASOL's NACOL pure cut alcohol portfolio are derived from petrochemical or oleochemical feedstock. The products are even-numbered and primary alcohols.

LPA Solvent is a high-purity mixture of hydrotreated isoparaffins and naphthenics with very low levels of polynuclear aromatics. It is a clear liquid with a medium flash point and mild odor.

Sasol Chemicals NACOL Ethers are high-purity, biodegradable ethers derived from analogous linear alcohols. NACOL Ethers are available with chain lengths between C12 and C36. Each is compatible in a wide variety of applications, including flow assurance, cleaning applications as an alternative to d-limonene, asphaltene remediation and microemulsion formulations. Liquid NACOL Ether based on linear alcohols (C6 to C10) have high purity (> 96 %), excellent flow and low viscosity properties, are fast spreading agents, with excellent solubility and good pigment wetting properties. This is a great alternative to many silicone additives with its higher polarity than paraffins and stable pH. Solid NACOL Ether based on linear alcohols (C12 to C18) have a sharp melting profile, high latent heat, are hydrophobic, have a higher polarity than paraffins, with tunable hardness and good pigment compatibility.
