SOLON, OHIO, UNITED STATES, July 28, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — • Surfactant consultants at ICIS spotlight Locus Components’ expanded line of sophorolipid biosurfactants as a finalist for Greatest Product Innovation from an SME class.
• Amphi biosurfactants supply USDA licensed 100% biobased, readily biodegradable and extremely biocompatible biosurfactant options to conventional surfactants.
• Greatest Product Innovation Class acknowledges new choices within the chemical trade that reveal environmental and sustainability aggressive benefits.

Impartial Commodity Intelligence Service (ICIS) has introduced the shortlist for its twentieth Annual Innovation Awards, naming Locus Components as a finest product innovation finalist. The ingredient firm was acknowledged for its Amphi® line of sophorolipids—a kind of biosurfactant within the glycolipid class. The USDA-certified 100% biobased biosurfactants have a low carbon footprint and might outperform conventional surfactants and different bio-based surfactants. The novel multifunctional substances are expediting the event of clean-label merchandise with larger efficiency in industrial purposes.

“We’re devoted to pushing the boundaries of biosurfactant options in each efficiency and sustainability,” stated Greg Smith, vice chairman Americas at Locus Components. “The expanded Amphi line offers formulators entry to superior sophorolipids that can be utilized in clean-label merchandise, together with direct launch purposes. This recognition displays the worth of those substances and their capability to form a greener future for the chemical substances trade.”

In December 2022, Locus Components expanded its Amphi line of sophorolipid biosurfactants to maximise product efficiency and sustainability within the international industrial surfactant market. New substances, Amphi CL and Amphi CH, be part of TSCA-registered Amphi M to offer customizable biosurfactant options for broader use in industrial product purposes, together with:

• institutional and industrial cleansing (I&I)

• metalworking fluids

• coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers (CASE)

• agricultural adjuvants

• and extra

The Amphi biosurfactant line growth offers product formulators a wider vary of performance and efficacy that’s unmatched by different bio-based surfactants. The biosurfactants may be formulated as degreasers (Amphi M), emulsifiers (Amphi CL) and detergents (Amphi CH). They can be used with bio-based co-surfactants, supplying a set of recent formularies.

The sophorolipids meet compliance necessities similar to REACH registration, Poisonous Substances Management Act (TSCA) and CleanGredients approval for use in Safer Selection-certified merchandise, together with for direct launch purposes. Locus Components additionally presents a formulary library, starting from glass cleaners to automobile washes, and entry to a brand new technical service division. This permits formulators to fast-track new product improvement.

“What units the Amphi ingredient line aside is its low crucial micelle focus, nonionic and anionic traits and improved floor pressure discount, which ends up in decrease dosage, decrease in-formula value and superior efficiency,” Smith stated. “Essentially the most interesting characteristic of the Amphi biosurfactant line is the power to match-pair. This enables formulators to dial within the solvency and detergency wanted for lots of at the moment’s cleansing challenges and industrial purposes.”

Not too long ago, regulators and coverage makers have set restrictions on the usage of some surfactant substances and ‘Without end Chemical substances’ similar to 1,4-dioxane and PFAS. The restrictions have pushed product formulators to look for sustainable options that decrease the usage of these substances.

Locus Components’ Amphi line of biosurfactants presents distinctive benefits over chemical-based substances and different bio-based surfactants. The sophorolipids are produced from renewable supplies have a low carbon footprint, are readily biodegradable, non-GMO and freed from petrochemicals and palm oil.

“The adoption of biosurfactants as chemical options in inexperienced chemistry has been restricted by costly manufacturing strategies with restricted capacities,” stated Smith. “Locus Components presents an answer by enabling the industrial manufacturing of high-activity, multifunctional biosurfactants in a a lot shorter timeframe and at a considerably decrease value than conventional processes, whereas additionally having a low carbon footprint.”

The ICIS Innovation Awards acknowledge and reward firms paving the best way in product, course of and digital improvements, which reveal a dedication to sustainability. Winners for every class can be introduced on the ICIS Innovation Awards 2023, occurring October 17 in Savoy, London. To be taught extra about Amphi and Locus Components, go to LocusIngredients.com.
