ILCO Chemikalien

The broad spectrum of the esterfication range from simple methanol (C1) up to longchain alcohols (18) or alcohol ethoxylates in different compositions. Phosphoric acid esters are used as antistatica, lubricant additives, emulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors and flame retardants.

Glutamate and sarcosinate salts are anionic amino acid bases surfactants that are used in cosmetics as mild surfactants with a lower irritation potential compared to other surfactants. Sarcosinates are also available in free acid form. Main application areas in cosmetics are: skin, hair and oral hygiene products, and in addition soap production; further application areas are sunscreens and creams. Besides the application in cosmetics these surfactants are also used in household, I&I and industrial products, e.g. as corrosion inhibitors in lubricants or metal working fluids, as rust preventatives, as fuel additives, as surfactant in various types of cleaners and as textile processing aids.

Fatty amines are used as corrosion protection additives as such and as intermediates for the production of corrosion protection agents or polyurea greases. Depending on the chain length ILCO MIN products are at ambient temperature liquid, solid or pasty and have a typical amine type smell. The products are insoluble in water whereas derivatives lie e.g. hydrochlorides, acetates, formiates or ethoxylates (> 5 EO) are soluble in water.
