QUATIN^®

Legislation, climate change, and customer expectations are just a few of the factors forcing you to move away from oil-based ingredients. The challenge, however, is to do so without sacrificing performance or increasing costs.

We invest heavily in product innovation. Many companies see QUATIN^® as the solution for innovation in developping new haircare, shower, dishwashing, or fabric care products.

Sustainability – first and foremost

QUATIN^® is produced by 'upcycling' inulin – we take industrial-grade inulin and add a cationic functional group. What's more, we control our entire supply chain – from crop to harvest and from inulin extraction and processing to cationic functionalization – at our farms and production facilities in Belgium and the Netherlands. 

We supply QUATIN^® as a 40% active, water-based, preservative-free solution in different grades (varying charge density) depending on your specific requirements and applications. It's incredibly easy to use, and you can add it at any stage of your production process without altering pH value, temperature, or without affecting your product' viscosity. QUATIN® is also compatible with many types of surfactant – anionic, amphoteric, or nonionic.

Versatility

You can even produce transparent formulations using QUATIN^®, thanks to its unique coacervative behavior, which we achieved by combining high charge density and an inulin backbone. The personal care industry is a major user of this multifunctional biopolymer because it conditions effectively, moisturizes the body, and forms creamy and rich foam.

But its properties haven't gone unnoticed in the home care, fabric care, and industrial sectors, where QUATIN^® is used to prevent spotting in dishwashers, modify surfaces in industrial applications, and soften fabrics and reduce static.
