Chemicals
Developments of new molecules with beneficial properties, as well as use of existing registered molecules in new applications are creative tasks of importance to our customers.
The cross-disciplinary nature of YKI, combined with our know-how and tools within the formulation area creates favourable conditions for innovations in the area of chemicals, and as a result, YKI has been involved in several exiting developments in this area. Some examples are given below. In particular focus has been on development of surface active ingredients from renewable sources, and more recently cleavable surfactants and prodrugs.
Activites include:
- Prodrugs, pro-fragrances and insect repellents with slow release profiles
- Surfactants Based on Natural Products
- Thermolabile surfactants
