With intensive research, Clariant was able to develop a group of surfactants which are produced from renewable raw materials and have an excellent environmental profile. The group of glucamides are sold under the trade names GlucoTain®, GlucoPure and Synergen GA and can be used as a cleaning agent in personal care, crop care and even in oil production. The glucamides consist partly of fatty acids and partly of sugar. They are therefore referred to as sugar surfactants and these products can be described as natural surfactants.
