Seppic is a globally recognised supplier of high-performance specialty ingredients, known for its technical expertise and consistent product quality. Through our partnership, we bring Seppic’s technologies into the HI&I sector, connecting customers with solutions for demanding and highly regulated applications.
At Surfachem, we make these specialist technologies accessible- supporting customers not just with supply, but with the technical insight needed to select the right solution for their formulation challenges.
A key part of Seppic’s HI&I offering is the SIMULSOL™ range of alkyl polyglucosides (APGs)- non-ionic surfactants derived from sugar-based feedstocks.
Manufactured in Europe to high purity standards, SIMULSOL™ APGs are positioned as specialist, high-performance alternatives to standard surfactant systems. Their European production supports both consistent quality and regulatory alignment, while also providing a reliable and accessible supply chain across the region.
For formulators, this means dependable performance where consistency, compliance and supply confidence are critical.
Whether you are developing for industrial cleaning or other regulated environments, SIMULSOL™ offers a solution backed by strong technical credentials.
Seppic offers a wide portfolio of specialty surfactants; however, our focus is on a selection of SIMULSOL™ grades that deliver strong performance across HI&I applications:
- SIMULSOL™ SL 826 E - A versatile, non-ionic APG with excellent foaming and solubilising properties, strong surface activity and broad formulation compatibility. Readily biodegradable and suited to demanding environments.
- SIMULSOL™ AS 48 - A non-foaming, eco-friendly surfactant designed as a solubiliser in highly alkaline systems, offering a strong environmental profile and wide application compatibility.
- SIMULSOL™ SL 4 C - A short-chain APG with low foaming and strong wetting performance, ideal for applications such as mechanical cleaning and formulations requiring reduced viscosity.
- SIMULSOL™ SL 7 G - A 100% bio-based hydrotrope with excellent solubilising performance and stability across a wide pH range, supporting environmentally conscious formulations.
For customers operating in regulated and performance-critical sectors, compliance is essential.
Selected products within the SIMULSOL™ range are CEFAS-approved, supporting their potential use in offshore and marine applications. Combined with high biodegradability, this makes them particularly well suited to formulations where environmental considerations and regulatory requirements go hand in hand.
These characteristics make SIMULSOL™ APGs an ideal choice for demanding applications- including offshore, oilfield and firefighting- where both performance and compliance are critical.
Sustainability continues to shape formulation decisions across HI&I. Seppic’s use of mass-balanced palm sourcing provides a more responsible alternative to conventional materials- without compromising performance.
This enables formulators to meet evolving environmental expectations while maintaining the high standards required in specialist applications.
Our partnership with Seppic is built on delivering targeted, high-value solutions to the HI&I market.
We don’t just supply products- we help customers:
- Identify the right SIMULSOL™ grades for their application
- Navigate regulatory and compliance requirements
- Optimise formulations for performance in demanding environments
This ensures customers benefit not only from Seppic’s technology, but also from Surfachem’s application knowledge and market expertise. We support those looking for more than a standard surfactant- offering performance, reliability and technical confidence.
If you’re looking to enhance your formulations with high-performance, compliant surfactants, our team is here to help- contact us at info@surfachem.com or join us alongside Seppic at ChemUK, 20th–21st May 2026 to discuss these solutions in more detail.
