No matter the application or environment, quality and performance are non-negotiable.
Our readily biodegradable ingredients are optimized to deliver consistent performance across changing process conditions. They deliver high-level functionality and seamless compatibility across a wide range of pH, surfactant levels, processing temperatures and components, including the latest generation of superplasticizers.
We combine world-class science with nature-based solutions to optimise your formulations and meet your performance goals. Whether that’s improving hardened materials by controlling flow, sedimentation and bleed, suspending actives or film-forming, our expert team is ready to help.
Solution spotlight: Key applications
We help formulators create stable, easy‑to‑handle agricultural products through solutions that prevent particle settling, improve stability and control rheology. From pesticides to liquid feed supplements our ingredients deliver proper suspension of actives, minerals or even medication.
Control over variable conditions, such as site temperature and humidity, as well as raw material quality variations is critical to construction mix formulations. Our experts understand the requirements for quality and performance in a wide range of applications, such as latex-based and ready-made plasters, filling compounds, putties, grouts, mortars, and more.
Managing viscosity, flow and suspension is one of the industry’s main challenges, and it’s where our know-how delivers real value. We help you achieve the performance you need when painting or applying coating. Paper, bricks, tiles; the substrate changes, but the precision never does.
Keeping active ingredients uniformly suspended in aqueous formulations is one of the trickier challenges in industrial cleaner development. Our solutions maintain the physical stability of your formulations from production through to end use, so your products perform consistently, every time they're used.
The difference between a sharp, accurate result and a compromised one often comes down to viscosity. Our solutions give your dyes the flow control they need to sit precisely where they should, deliver clean colour and shape definition, and prevent bleeding between shades.
As the industry transitions toward fluorine-free foam technologies, formulators face the challenge of maintaining foam stability and performance without PFAS-based ingredients. Our ingredients deliver the stability your foam needs to suppress flames, cool the fuel and prevent reignition. They reduce reliance on PFAS based technologies and are effective against fire.
Our expertise, experience and ingredients can be applied across multiple industrial applications, including the ones highlighted here and many more. Whatever technical challenge you face, we can build a solution that delivers the quality and efficiency you rely on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Maintaining uniform suspension in an aqueous cleaner can be technically demanding. Our solutions are designed to preserve physical stability from production through end use, helping the cleaner perform consistently each time it is used.
Accurate textile printing depends on controlling how dyes flow and sit precisely where they should. Our solutions can help improve colour and shape definition and reduce bleeding between shades by delivering the viscosity and flow control the process requires.
Yes. As the industry moves toward fluorine-free technologies, our ingredients can help maintain foam stability and performance while replacing PFAS-based ingredients. The solutions are designed to support the stability the foam needs for flame suppression, fuel cooling and protection against reignition.
Our hydrocolloids are readily biodegradable, nature-based ingredient solutions. They deliver high-level functionality, supporting formulators who need reliable rheology control, suspension and stabilisation across demanding process conditions.
We combine decades of experience, world-class science, a broad hydrocolloid portfolio and a global supply network. Our experts work across agrochemicals, construction materials, coatings, cleaners, textiles, firefighting foams and other applications to build solutions around the required quality, efficiency and performance.
