Air Products (AP) recently introduced a series of Tomadol surfactants based on renewable or bio-based resources.
AP’ natural Tomadol surfactants are derived from palm or coconut oil and provide formulators with a choice of alcohol ethoxylate surfactants to meet their customer’s demands for bio-based solutions for the industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning markets. Besides the use of bio-based oils, these new Tomadol surfactants are also efficient, environmentally friendly alternatives to phenol-containing surfactants such as nonyl phenol ethoxylates (NPE), which have been under scrutiny as being environmentally persistent.
“Natural Tomadol surfactants provide formulators with flexibility. If bio-based or renewable resources is their primary concern, then our natural Tomadol surfactants are the answer,” said Russ King, marketing manager for AP’ Performance Solutions.
