Information:
Britens Alaninate 100% biobased is a natural surfactant, it is biodegradable in a natural environment. Britens Alaninate is derived from natural fatty acids and L-alanine by acylation and neutralization under alkaline conditions. Britens Alaninate is a high-foaming, mild, anionic surfactant.
Britens Alaninate is remarkably mild for hair and skin and has strong cleaning properties. This combination results in a perfect application for personal care products such as facial cleansers and body wash for sensitive skin. The amino acid group also repairs damaged skin and hair.
Britens Alaninate can be used as a main surfactant in personal care products. Replacing the widely used Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Britens Alaninate is mild for the skin and also 100% biobased. So Britens Alaninate is the surfactant suitable for a broad variety of products in personal care, such as face cleansers, shampoos, body washes, shaving products, toothpastes and especially personal care products for infants and for the sensitive skin and hair.
Britens Alaninate produces exquisite and elastic foam. This gentle surfactant produces a rich lather that has a stabilizing effect on the bubbles, allowing them to last longer.
Britens ACS has excellent foaming performance under oily conditions. The transparency of the product makes it also suitable for transparent formula’s such as shampoos.The purity of Britens ACS makes it suitable for high-quality products.
Technical:
The fatty acids in Britens Alaninate are derived from sustainable coconut oil. L-alanine is on of the twenty amino acids and is derived during the fermentation of natural raw materials. Making Britens Alaninate a 100% biobased.
Commercial:
200kg/drum, 16mt in 20FCL

The Sirius Effect: Sirius International takes the final hurdle in the transition process from petrochemical to bio-based surfactants, namely the production of anionic benzene-containing surfactants such as Britens LAS. A new discovery makes it possible to produce these highly effective surfactants from organic non-food raw materials. Thanks to the Sirius effect, even more effective bio-based washing powders and bio-based liquid detergents can now be produced.

The Sirius Effect: Life cycle analysis of surfactants Making products more and more sustainable ? That’s what Sirius does. An accurate cradle-to-gate life cycle analysis (LCA) shows exactly how much smaller the carbon footprint and environmental impact of Sirius' bio-based products are compared to those of petrochemical counterparts. But also on which points there is still room for improvement… To what extent is one product more sustainable than another? And is a product made from organic raw materials really as sustainable as it seems? To answer that question, it is important to look further than just the usual raw materials. How energy-intensive are the different steps in the production process? What is the impact of transporting raw materials to and from the factory? What kind of waste is created during the production process, and what is done with it?
