Solvay S.A. (Brussels, Belgium; www.solvay.com) has signed a global license agreement with polymer technology company Revolymer Ltd. (Flintshire, U.K.; www.revolymer.com) to exclusively apply its encapsulation technology to boost the performance of Solvay’s organic peroxide Eureco, which is used in detergents and other applications. Solvay’s Eureco is based on 6-phthalimido-peroxyhexanoic acid (PAP).
“Manufacturers of consumer dose capsules for laundry and dishwashing machines will find that using the compact Eureco RP103 in their products offers tremendous additional benefits, such as low temperature washings which save energy without the need for any further activators,” said Roberto Garaffa, Global Commercial Manager at Solvay’s Global Business Unit Peroxides.
Apart from laundry detergents and dishwasher machine tablets, this exclusive global license agreement also addresses veterinary, pharmaceutical or health care applications.
