Neolone PH Max

Neolone PH Max is a new development for personal care preservation, combining phenoxyethanol with pelargonic acid from sunflower oil. This blend enhances antimicrobial effectiveness and offers complexing and antioxidant properties, providing a practical solution for formulators.

Oxone's Role

Oxone, a fast-acting oxidizing agent, enhances cleaning performance in household products. It effectively removes stains at low temperatures, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional systems. Dr. Kelly Board will present its potential at the congress.

Sustainable Alternatives

Purox S Scopeblue and Kalaguard SB are sustainable product variants. Purox S is a biodegradable sodium benzoate, while Kalaguard SB is a non-allergenic preservative for household products. Both meet leading environmental certifications and offer reduced carbon footprints.

Biodegradable Agents

LANXESS offers biodegradable dispersants and complexing agents in the Baypure range, which stabilize bleaching systems and prevent limescale and dirt deposits. Bayhibit phosphonates are stable in demanding industrial applications, providing an excellent phosphorus-to-performance ratio.

Saltigo's Contributions

Saltigo, a LANXESS subsidiary, provides custom manufacturing solutions and insect repellent technology. It focuses on zero-waste products and sustainable raw materials, supporting customers' sustainability goals with effective and skin-friendly solutions.
