Information:

Polyethylene glycol is used in many industries: medications (primarily in pill coatings and in some surgical liquids), as thickener in cleaning agents, as a lubricant in hydraulic fluid, to thicken coatings, and even in food (as an antifoaming agent). PEG has the curious property of being able to bind many water molecules along its main body, while the ends remain more hydrophobic. The chain length dictates how many water molecules can be bound, and therefore allows it to be used in a variety of ways. For example, in the coatings industry, PEGs with a molecular weight of up to 400 are used to keep water in paints, so that the paints stay hydrated during the process of applying them. However, PEGs with a molecular weight of 3000 to 4000 are used as thickeners, because their hydrophobic heads form a network with each other which helps immobilize the rest of the paint. In cleaning agents and detergents, PEG is often used as a thickening agent, a penetration enhancer and a water carrier. But again, different uses require different chain lengths.

Innovation:

Historically, the synthesis of PEGs is performed with ethylene oxide and glycol of petrochemical source. Sirius International and its partners managed to perform above mentioned step by exclusively adding ethylene oxide and glycol from vegetal sources. As such, Ethoxybrite PEG biobased is the ideal raw material for any green, 100% sustainable, palm oil free, ecologically certified end product. Sirius' Ethoxybrite PEG products do not involve any petrochemicals.

Our line Ethoxybrite PEG provides a number of chain lengths to suit your exact application.

Synonyms: PEG, poly oxy ethylene, poly ethlyene oxide, Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl),.alpha.-hydro-.omega.-hydroxy, C2nH4n+2On+1, where 2n represents the number of C-atoms in the chain.

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: After all of the surprises in 2021, it probably seems unwise to guess at what 2022 will bring. Outcomes of events both important and (relatively) trivial were not what we expected. But not planning for our future is no option either. In 2015, world leaders in the United Nations set their 17 ambitious Sustainability Goals. In our daily work at Sirius, we positively influence at least 12 of them. More recently, the European Union based its Green Deal on these UN Sustainability Goals. The Green Deal is poised to take effect this year, but what does it mean, and what can we expect?
