ResearchLaunching Bio-Based Surfactant Line: Sustainable Alternatives for Personal Care
Templates033 introduces our new bio-based surfactant product line, offering formulators in the personal care and household cleaning industries sustainable, high-performance alternatives to petrochemical-derived surfactants without compromising on foam quality, mildness, or cost-effectiveness.New Bio-Based ProductsCocoFoam BG-40: Alkyl polyglucoside (APG) from coconut and glucose, 40% active, excellent foam and dermal mildness for baby care and sensitive skin formulationsOleoSoft SCI-85: Sodium cocoyl isethionate from coconut fatty acids, 85% active, syndet bar and sulfate-free shampoo base with luxurious creamy latherGreenEmul ME-30: Methyl ester sulfonate from palm methyl ester, 30% active, high-foaming primary surfactant for laundry and dish applications with 60% lower aquatic toxicity than LASSustainability Credentials100% plant-derived carbon content verified by ASTM D6866 radiocarbon analysisReadily biodegradable per OECD 301B (>60% within 28 days)RSPO Mass Balance certified palm derivativesManufactured using green chemistry principles: solvent-free, low-energy processesPerformance ValidationIndependent testing at dermatological research institutes confirms our bio-based surfactants match or exceed the performance of conventional alternatives in foam height (Ross-Miles test), skin irritation potential (zein solubilization), and cleaning efficacy (ASTM D4488), while offering significantly improved environmental profiles.
ResearchNew High-Temperature Structural Adhesive for Aerospace Composite Bonding
Templates033 Adhesives Division launches AeroBond HT-300, a next-generation two-component epoxy structural adhesive engineered specifically for aerospace composite-to-metal bonding applications requiring sustained performance at temperatures up to 300°C.AeroBond HT-300 PerformanceLap shear strength: 35 MPa on CFRP-to-titanium at room temperature (ASTM D5868)Retention at 250°C: 18 MPa lap shear (51% retention) — industry leadingGlass transition temperature: 310°C (DSC onset) after post-cure at 200°C/4hrFracture toughness: GIc 800 J/m² (DCB test, ASTM D5528) — toughened formulationKey DifferentiatorsThixotropic paste with controlled flow — bonds gaps from 0.1 to 3mm uniformlyLow exotherm during cure — safe for large bonded area applicationsCompatible with surface treatments: grit blast, phosphoric acid anodize, sol-gel, plasmaMeets Airbus AIMS and Boeing BMS specifications (qualification in progress)Target ApplicationsAeroBond HT-300 is designed for engine nacelle composite bonding, leading edge erosion shield attachment, thermal protection system (TPS) panel bonding, and next-generation hypersonic vehicle structural joints where temperature resistance above 250°C is a critical design requirement.
