Understanding industrial needs

From oil rig platforms in the ocean to crops in the heart of the country, busy construction sites and more, our portfolio includes a full range of bio-based ingredients to meet your standards for quality and optimised performance.  

Our biodegradable ingredients are specifically designed to provide more control over variable conditions, encompass high levels of functionality and ensure compatibility with different types of ingredients, including the newest class of superplasticisers. We know how to obtain the most out of formulations and are ready to partner with you to improve the performance of hardened materials by controlling flow, sedimentation and bleed.

Our ingredients are ideal for multiple industrial uses such as agrochemicals, film-forming, mining, drilling and simulation fluids, construction, paints and coatings, industrial cleaners, textile sizing and printing, and more. 

CELLULON® Cellulose Liquid is our readily biodegradable suspension agent for conquering technical challenges. It is tolerant of a range of temperatures, enzymes, pH and salt levels. Ask about grades that are cationic compatible and suitable for highly concentrated/no-water/pod-like formulations. 

Upcycled GENU® Pectin provides functionality beyond gelling to include water-binding, emulsification and film formation to extend its usage into a variety of new applications, such as enteric coatings, films, ostomy devices and more. 

Our nature-based family of carrageenan products is capable of forming a variety of gel types, including cold-soluble gels compatible with surfactants or mixed salt-form, high-strength, cohesive gels needed for insect bait control. 

KELCOGEL® Gellan Gum provides highly effective suspension and gel strength with stability. There is also flexibility with melting and setting points. Gentle agitation results in a smooth, pourable gel that can be formed using standard filling operations. 

Upcycled KELCOSENS® Citrus Fiber enhances the stability of emulsions, suspensions and foams. It can be used with other ingredients to create a variety of textures. 

KELZAN® Xanthan Gum is designed to meet demanding environmental conditions by providing long-term suspension and emulsion stability in alkaline, acid and salt solutions, temperature resistance and pseudoplasticity.

We offer a range of unique biopolymer products for use in water-based drilling that help raise production potential. 

GEOVIS® Diutan Gum optimises the rheological profile of drilling fluids and water-based circulating systems by increasing viscosity at low shear rates. It improves suspension and carrying capacity, especially under low flow conditions, freshwater or salty seawater. Even in low concentrations, it can help reduce daily maintenance treatments and retain strength at elevated temperatures. It is also an ideal candidate for slurry stability and fluid loss control for spacer fluids.  

KELZAN® Xanthan Gum is designed to meet demanding environmental conditions by providing long-term suspension and emulsion stability in alkaline, acid and salt solutions, temperature resistance and pseudoplasticity. 

Highly refined, clarified and dispersible XANVIS® Xanthan Gum can be used for rheology control in water-based (freshwater, seawater and saline) circulating systems. It provides effective viscosity for solids transport and suspension when formulation protection is critical. XANVIS® Xanthan Gum minimizes friction pressures for additional hydraulic horsepower at the bit to maximise penetration rates and also promotes laminar flow for improved borehole stability.
