Alfa Chemistry Completes Upgrade of Its Natural Surfactants Supply
A mong 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 indus...
