Mild surfactant capacity increased in Europe and US

Clariant is expanding production capacity for its isethionates derivatives - Hostapon SCI - mild surfactants to support the increasing shift by personal care formulators and brands towards using mild surfactants to differentiate applications. It also supports the growing consumer trend for hygiene products.

“As one of the leading company for specialty chemicals in personal care, Clariant continues to invest and support the latest trends in the sector. Mild surfactants are a growing sector driven by
consumers seeking new mildness claims, invaluable in helping formulators to answer needs for mild cleansing hygiene, sensitive skin solutions, solid formats and more natural ingredients,” said Christian Vang, global head of Business Unit Industrial & Consumer Specialties.

Clariant’s Hostapon SCI grades are natural, anionic mild surfactants. Plant-based, they are nonirritant, ultra-mild and compliant with a number of industry-recognised ecolabels, and create
formulations with creamy, stable foams. They form part of Clariant’s broad portfolio of mild
surfactants for skin cleansing, hair care and baby care applications. 

As a global expansion, the investment targets capacity increase and general modernisation of
current facilities at the Mount Holly (US) and Tarragona (Spain) manufacturing sites. The general asset modernisation will optimize energy consumption and also aggregate options for new SI grades (different Carbon-chains).

“We are pleased to announce this long-term strategic investment. Together with our introduction in recent years of Glucamides sugar surfactant technology, it further positions Clariant as one of the innovative leaders for the future of mild surfactants, as they become increasingly popular among our personal care customers in their development of milder and healthier solutions,” adds Ralf Zerrer, global head of Strategic Marketing and Innovation Business Unit Industrial & Consumer Specialties.
