Will market biosurfactants to customers under
CARINEX and LIVINEX brand names
Sasol Chemicals, a business unit of Sasol Ltd.
(JSE: SOL; NYSE: SSL), today announced the launch of CARINEX and
LIVINEX, two brands that will expand Sasol’s offerings of
sustainable products. CARINEX SL AND LIVINEX SL, both
biosurfactants, are the first product offerings under these new
brands.
Sasol Chemicals, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of
surfactants, previously announced plans to begin exploring
alternatives to traditional surfactants. In March 2022, the company
announced a strategic partnership with Holiferm Limited to develop
sophorolipids, a fermentation-derived biosurfactant offering an
extensive reduction in carbon footprint compared with petroleum or
bio-based surfactants. Using Holiferm’s proprietary technology,
Sasol’s sophorolipids are fully derived from natural palm-free oils
and/or sugars, making them environmentally friendly products
without compromising performance.
“As Sasol continues to find ways to offer our customers
lower-carbon footprint products, we believe partnerships are the
key to unlocking and accelerating sustainable innovation and
transformation,” said Eric Stouder, Senior Vice President of Sasol
Chemicals. “Combining Holiferm’s advanced technology with Sasol’s
unique chemistry and global reach, we can now offer our customers
mass produced, high performing and more sustainable solutions at
competitive prices.”
CARINEX will target the personal care market, while LIVINEX will
be offered to customers in the home care, technical, institutional
and industrial cleaning markets. While fully biodegradable, CARINEX
and LIVINEX sophorolipids (SL) are well-tolerated by aquatic
organisms, acting as detergents, dispersants, emulsifiers, foaming
agents or wetting agents commonly needed for daily personal care
products, such as shampoos and conditioners, as well as detergents,
degreasers and more in cleaning and technical applications.
“Our partnership with Sasol Chemicals allows us to increase the
reach and use of biosurfactants to markets across the globe,” said
Richard Lock, Managing Director of Holiferm. “We are seeing an
increase in interest and uptake of sustainable solutions and are
well-placed with our partners to meet this demand.”
Sasol Chemicals and Holiferm will attend the SEPAWA® CONGRESS
2023 conference October 25-27 in Berlin to showcase this novel
biosurfactant manufacturing technology and the impact it will have
on the future of personal care and cleaning products.
