Applications:
- Pharmaceuticals
Oleochemicals offer a wide range of excipients and vegetable oils which are described in the different pharmacopoeia\’s. Fatty acids are offered as standard or high purity grades. A number of polyols, especially polyethylene glycols are offered under several molecular weights and physical forms.
- Cosmetics
FDP Specialties Group offers a wide range of ingredients for personal care under which: emulsifiers, natural oils, actives, consistency agents, waxes, surfactants, emollients and solubilizers. These products enter in formulations dedicated to skin care, sun protection, bath and body care products, color cosmetics and hair care.
- Feed
FDP Specialties Group is FCA certified for the production and trading of feed ingredients and additives. You\’ll find here a wide range of emulsifiers, vegetable oils and their fatty acids.
- Food
Besides a wide range of special vegetable oils which can be obtained under organic certification, we offer fatty esters to be used as emulsifiers, dispersing agents, lubricating and demolding oils.
- Lubricants
During the last generation, fatty esters have become common, technically performant and cost-effective ingredients for lubrication. They act either as lubricating oil, or as additive, taking benefit of a number of properties such as emulsification, dispersion, solvation, anti-corrosion. Improved viscosity index, biodegradability, friction properties are giving additional value to these molecules.
- Agrochemicals
Oleochemical derivatives enter in most phytopharmaceutical formulations as emulsifiers, dispersing agents, solvents, carriers, wetting agents or adjuvants. In addition to the technical performance these ingredients offer friendly properties to man and environment.
- Candles and oil lamps
Candle makers will find here high standard beeswax and stearic acid as well as most regular paraffin wax. Alternatively, we offer hydrogenated vegetable oils of which several melting points can be obtained on request. In order to meet latest legislation regarding lamp oils we offer vegetable based fatty esters designed for this application.
