Whether you are already working with oleochemicals, considering how you can incorporate their benefits into a new formulation, or are looking to decrease your reliance on petroleum-based products, partnering with Univar Solutions for your oleochemicals is the right solution.
Oleochemicals are sustainable, bio-based chemical compounds derived primarily from animal and vegetable sources. These versatile products are used in applications across a wide variety of industries, including personal care, household and industrial cleaning, food, coatings and adhesives, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and more. As the trend toward natural and sustainable products continues in many of these markets, manufacturers wanting to reduce the chemical content of their products are increasingly turning to concentrates like oleochemicals, enabling them to achieve this.
