Alfa Chemistry Completes Upgrade of Its Natural Surfactants Supply

Among varieties of surfactants, natural surfactants have gained an increasing interest due to their unique properties such as low toxicity and functionality under extreme conditions. Earlier this month, Alfa Chemistry announces that it has completed the upgrade of its supply of a wide array of natural surfactants, which could be used for potential applications in the field of petroleum, medicine, agriculture, food, cosmetics, etc.

Natural surfactants can be derived from many natural sources such as plants and microorganisms. They are environmentally friendly because they’re low toxic, biodegradable and relatively stable under a wide range of physicochemical environments.

“In the research circle, natural surfactants have found uses in many fields, such as microbial enhanced oil recovery (meor), soil washing technology and bioremediation of crude oil-contaminated environments, metals remediation, biomedical field, agricultural field, laundry industry, food processing industry, cosmetic industry, reduction of CO2 emissions as well as ceramics, pulp & paper and metal processing and fixing dyes,” says one of the senior scientists from Alfa Chemistry.

There are three categories of natural surfactants, namely: amphiphiles produced by yeast or bacteria, amphiphiles which contain a natural polar headgroup and amphiphiles that contain a natural hydrophobic tail. At Alfa Chemistry, dozens of high-performance natural surfactants are now readily obtainable, either to be used in relevant research or to support manufacturing projects. Below are just some of them:

Pistacia lentiscus gum (cas 61789-92-2), lanolin cera (cas 68201-49-0), prunus armeniaca leaf extract (cas 68650-44-2), mentha arvensis herb oil (cas 68917-18-0), illicium verum leaf oil (cas 68952-43-2), arnica montana flower extract (cas 68990-11-4), quillaja saponaria wood extract (cas 68990-67-0), taraxacum officinale leaf extract (cas 68990-74-9), citrus aurantium amara peel extract (cas 72968-50-4), althaea officinalis flower extract (cas 73049-65-7), lavandula angustifolia oil (cas 8000-28-0), citronella oil (cas 8000-29-1), jasminum officinale flower oil (cas 8022-96-6), citrus aurantium dulcis peel extract (cas 8028-48-6), aesculus hippocastanum seed extract (cas 8053-39-2), valeriana officinalis rhizome/root extract (cas 8057-49-6), humulus lupulus stem extract (cas 8060-28-4), betula alba twig extract (cas 84012-15-7), solanum melongena root extract (cas 84012-19-1), and more.

Meanwhile, Alfa Chemistry also supplies other types of special surfactants such as fluoro surfactants, polymer surfactants and silicone surfactants. Please visit https://surfactant.alfa-chemistry.com/products/natural-surfactants-2423.html to learn more.

Resin Bond Diamond

The resin bond diamond (RBD) is mutil-stalline diamond superhard abrasive specially produced for resin bond abrasives, which is composed of many subcrystals with embedded structure. In most cases, the resin binder system is phenolic resin or polyimide resin. In special cases, special resin binder and suitable additives may be used make the resin bond diamond more widely applicable. Resin bond diamond has irregular crystal shape, rough surface, excellent brittleness and excellent self-sharpening. Characteristics The excellent quality of high grinding efficiency, long life and high finish provides the best performance for resin bond abrasives, the details are as follows: Extremely high grinding efficiency and abrasive utilization : Under a certain grinding force, multicrystal particles are easy to fracture along the interface between subgrains. After the small abrasive subgrains are separated from the crystal particles, the new irregular shape subgrains form sharp edge angles on the cry...
