surfactant supplier has implemented several initiatives to improve the sustainability of its products, particularly through its Sustain Series. Here are some key ways the company is achieving this:

1. Use of Biobased Materials
surfactant supplier has developed a range of products that replace petroleum-derived components with biobased materials. For example:
- Silmer® Sustain-H: This product uses a 100% natural hemisqualane carrier instead of D5 (cyclopentasiloxane), resulting in a verified 90% total biobased carbon content.
- Silube® Sustain-S: It features a sugar-modified silicone backbone in a 100% natural carrier.
- Silsurf® Sustain Di-1010: This product uses 100% biobased ethoxylates instead of petroleum feedstocks, achieving a verified 66% total biobased carbon content.
- Silube® Sustain 4316: This is an alkyl functional silicone polyether emulsifier with biobased plant sources for the ethoxylate and alkyl components, resulting in over 73% biobased carbon content.
- Silwax® Sustain 5116: An improved sustainability liquid alkyl dimethicone with over 82% biobased carbon content, derived from plant sources instead of petroleum.

2. Verification through ASTM D6866
surfactant supplier employs the ASTM D6866 method to determine the percentage of carbon derived from natural and renewable sources versus petroleum feedstocks. This ensures that the sustainability claims of its products are verified and reliable.

3. Innovative Formulations
surfactant supplier focuses on developing formulations that maximize biobased carbon content while maintaining premium performance. For example, the company’s Sustainable Hydration formulation contains Silmer Sustain-H and has an overall biobased carbon content rating of more than 90%.

4. Commitment to Sustainability
surfactant supplier’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its strategic decisions. The company continues to invest in research and development to create more sustainable products and reduce the environmental impact of its operations.

5. Supporting the Personal Care Industry
surfactant supplier’s sustainability initiatives are particularly focused on the personal care industry. By offering biobased alternatives to traditional silicones and surfactants, surfactant supplier helps formulators meet consumer demands for more sustainable and eco-friendly products.

Overall, surfactant supplier’s approach to sustainability involves replacing petroleum-derived components with biobased materials, verifying the sustainability of its products through rigorous testing, and continuously innovating to create more sustainable formulations.
