Usage

ECO Brij products are often used with anionic surfactants such as alkyl ether phosphates and sulphated oils. Such mixtures generally produce emulsions with a very fine dispersion and improved stability.

Markets
HI&I Care
Polishes

ECO Brij products are excellent emulsifiers for wax / solvent combinations and can be used in many types of formulations ranging from aerosol furniture polishes to car wash and wax polishes. ECO Brij CS20, S20 and O20 are particularly effective emulsifiers for many natural and synthetic waxes.

ECO Range

The ECO Brij Range is manufactured using ethylene oxide derived from bio-ethanol, resulting in 100% renewable surfactants with performance identical to petro-based options. These 100% bio-based products eliminate the need to choose between high performance and fully renewable ingredients. By using an alternative route to ethylene oxide with bioethanol from biomass sources, it significantly increases the biobased content of ethoxylated products and reduces reliance on fossil fuels. Additionally, the ECO Brij range is manufactured with high levels of renewable energy. Sustainability informs and guides our development strategies and is an integral part of our business. The ECO Brij Range addresses the consumer demand for more sustainable products and aids our customers in meeting their own sustainability goals, while delivering high performance products to the market.

Fibre Care

Compatibility and chemical stability make the ECO Brij series useful formulating aids in laundry liquid and powder detergents and conditioning agents. Utilized in the textile processing industry, the ECO Brij products are effective at all temperatures below cloud point and impart lubricity and antistatic properties to the finish. Textile oils and fiber finish agents can be emulsified by products of the ECO Brij L, O and CS grades
