Company profile WHEATOLEO results from the alliance between OLEON and ARD. OLEON is a Belgian company specialized in converting natural fats and oils into a wide range of oleochemicals, such as fatty acids, glycerin, fatty alcohols, esters and dimers. ARD is a private research center which aims at promoting plant resources in industrial applications. ARD is involved in plant fractionation, green chemistry, and industrial biotechnology. ARD develops innovating, competitive products friendly to the environment within the vision of industrial sustainability and ecology. WHEATOLEO benefits from the R&D expertise of ARD and the production capacity of OLEON to develop a range of fully natural surfactants based on pentosides. Application fields WHEATOLEO develops natural surfactants for a wide range of applications: Cosmetic & Toiletries Green Detergency (Home Care and I&I) Agrochemicals Solvents Sustainable raw materials Through the bio-refinery concept, our strategy is to valorize the whole field crops for industrial applications. Our raw materials are fully renewable and widely available. This results in cost effective and high quality products. The polar head of our surfactants is made of sugars coming from agricultural byproducts (wheat bran and straw), which cannot be used for human consumption. WHEATOLEO surfactants do not enter into competition with food stuffs. The lipophilic tail of our surfactants is made of natural fatty alcohols obtained from coconut and sugar beet. Environmentally friendly surfactants RADIA® EASYSURF surfactants are ideal candidates for use in green formulations such as Ecolabel products. They show rapid and ultimate biodegradability through the OECD 301F test whilst demonstrating very low ecotoxicity for the major sensitive aquatic species. Additionally, they are PEG free, not source of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and contain no preservatives. Unique surfactant behavior Pentoses derived from wheat bran and straw have the main advantage of being more reactive than glucose during the glycosilation which occurs quickly at low temperature resulting in a low consumption of energy. The second advantage of our original and patented approach is the possibility to better control polymerization degree. Third advantage, the low temperature synthesis avoids a strong coloration thus reducing post-treatments. Compared to glucose based surfactants, the polymerization degree is lower and the hydrophilic head is smaller. Consequently, our surfactants are more lipophilic and show a highly dynamic behavior. This results in unique properties such as lower CMC, lower surface tension and better wetting and degreasing capabilities.
