High Quality Surfactants for the Personal Care Industry

With their exceptional performance and mildness, BTC Europe surfactants are an excellent option for personal care products that must have an outstanding sensory appeal. BTC Europe offers a comprehensive range of top-quality surfactants and has extensive expertise in related production and application processes. The portfolio comprises anionics, amphoterics and non-ionics obtained from renewable raw materials.

Amphoteric surfactants as co-surfactants

The Dehyton® range comprises amphoteric surfactants which are suited for universal applications in surfactants preparations. In combination with anionic surfactants the Dehyton® range achieves synergistic effects which lead to a dermatological improvement of the consumer product. Furthermore, the product has excellent foaming properties in hard and soft water. Dehyton® types find use in surfactant preparations, shampoos, shower and bath products.

Anionic surfactants for rinse off applications

Lamepon®, Plantapon®, Texapon®, Sulfopon® are anionic surfactants for rinse off applications e.g. in surfactant preparations, oral care, shampoos, shower and bath products.

Cationic surfactants for hair conditioning

BTC’s cationic surfactants Dehyquart®, Lamequat®, Luviquat® find use as conditioning agents for hair care products and surfactant preparations.

Nonionic surfactants as alkyl polyglucosides

Our alkyl polyglucoside line Plantacare® is a special class of nonionic surfactants obtained from renewable, plant-derived feedstocks. They stand for first-rate environmental and skin compatibility profiles, creating a perfect synergy of mildness, foaming performance and effective cleansing. All Plantacare® types are made from 100% renewable feedstocks. They provide an outstanding mildness, excellent foaming behavior and cleansing properties and they are compatible with various surfactants. They show an excellent eco-toxicological profile as well as an ultimate biodegradability under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. They are recommended for different ecolabel concepts.

Plantacare® is used in products for body wash, foam bath, shampoo, facial cleansing, sensitive skin, baby concepts, liquid soap, wet wipes, oral care and more.

Nonionic surfactants for rinse off applications

The Arlypon® range shows excellent viscosity increase properties. They are used as thickener in surfactant preparations. In high viscous formulations Arlypon® F-T can be used instead of fatty acid alkanolamid.

The Arlypon® types are nonionic surfactants for rinse off applications used in surfactant preparations, shampoos, shower and bath products.

Surfactant compositions for various rinse preparations

Dehyquart®, Plantacare®, Plantapon®, Texapon® products are used in surfactant preparations, shampoos, shower and bath products and more.

Surfactants as animal derived protein product

Our animal derived protein products include milde anionic collagen surfactants as well as mild cationic conditioning surfactants. Lamequat® and Lamepon® types are used as conditioning agent for hair care products and surfactant preparations.
