Lankem Surfactants

Sustainable products from renewable sources have been around for many years, but the majority have very limited functionality in terms of performance compared to synthetic countertypes. Our remit was to develop a range of biobased products that offer comparable performance against the synthetic products across many applications. They are used in a wide range of applications where they provide useful characteristics including, emulsification, solubilisation, wetting, detergency, dispersion and foaming. They are used in a wide range of applications where they provide useful characteristics including emulsification, solubilisation, wetting, dispersion, detergency, foaming and defoaming. They are used in a wide range of applications where they provide useful characteristics such as foaming, solubilisation, antistatic. The coatings industry is an important market for Lankem and falls within two main areas; coating additives, which include dispersing agents, defoamers and humectants, and emulsifiers used for emulsion polymerisation. With many years of research and development, we have products that perform to the absolute highest standards. Our company philosophy is to continue to develop new and interesting products to help the formulator bridge the demands of modern requirements.
