Nagardo^®

Nagardo^® is a natural preservative and protects beverages from microorganisms that could have a negative effect on the product quality and thus the consumer. Nagardo^® is a pure mixture of natural glycolipids that are obtained by an edible mushroom. 

The combination of natural product and high efficacy helps beverage manufacturers to meet the growing demands of consumers when it comes to clean and green labels. It also expands the existing preservation toolbox with a highly effective new tool.

Nagardo^® has a wide range of applications and can currently be found in carbonated and still soft drinks, ready-to-drink teas, juices and non-alcoholic beer. 

Safety enabled by nature.

Neolone^TM

Our Neolone^TM products help you to protect your personal care products from microbial contamination. NEOLONE™ is suitable for a range of cosmetic applications. With a broad portfolio of preservatives and extensive application expertise, we help protect your personal care products from unwanted bacteria, yeasts and molds while offering ease of formulation. We offer a range of solutions to preserve rinse-off and leave-on products, allowing you to address consumer and regulatory expectations for safe, high quality, effective products. Finding natural and efficacious preservatives remain one of the great challenges of the personal care industry. For instance our product NEOLONE™ Bio offers a range of naturally derived personal care preservatives based on Ethyl Lauroyl Arginate HCl (LAE®). Ethyl Lauroyl Arginate HCl is an effective preservative derived from natural ingredients, such as sugar beet, and corn, and can be used for both cosmetic leave-on and rinse-off products. NEOLONETM Bio meets ISO 16128 definition of a naturally derived ingredient and is COSMOS raw material approved. 

Preventol^®

Under the Preventol^® brand name, we sell active ingredients and finished formulations for Paints & Coatings, Wood Protection, Construction Products, Water Treatment and Disinfection among other things. One example is the preservation of paints: Preventol^® protects paints from taking on bad odors or discoloration caused by bacteria. This extends the life of the product and maintains its functionality, for example the spreadability of the paint.

Velcorin^®

Velcorin^® is used as a cold sterilization agent in the beverage industry. It deactivates microorganisms such as yeast, mold or bacteria that can enter the beverage during the filling process. Velcorin^® does not affect the taste, smell or color of the beverage.
