Reducing the environmental impact: "Biodegradable surfactants"
Maintaining the quality and effectiveness of research results! Providing products to scientists to reduce environmental impact.
Have you ever considered the impact of the reagents used in research on the ecosystem? At Sigma-Aldrich, we are expanding our product range based on the concept of green chemistry as part of our efforts to achieve a sustainable and better society. Among surfactants, octyl- and nonyl-phenol ethoxylates (OPE, NPE) are designated as substances of very high concern (SVHC) under the REACH regulation established by the EU, due to their impact on health and the environment. The following biodegradable surfactants not only do not contain OPE/NPE, but are also chemically stable and break down into harmless substances after use, making them surfactants with low environmental impact. 【Features】 ■ Developed and improved to reduce environmental impact ■ Compliant with the 12 principles of green chemistry ■ Useful for the development of alternatives that reduce environmental burden *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
