Oleum stocks and distributes an extensive range of both organic and inorganic raw materials and surfactants, right through to colourants and defoamers.
Surfactants
Surfactants are substances that reduce the surface tension of a liquid in which it is added. They work to break down the interface between water and oils or dirt, holding them in suspension to create an extraction. Surfactants play a crucial role in a variety of occurrences, including wetting, surface tension reduction, emulsification, dispersion formation, foaming, micelle formation and the adjusting of solution rheology.
Colourants
Oleum combines its extensive know-how and industry expertise to create a range of high-performing colourants that are sure to impress. All our colourants are designed to meet the growing needs of industry, particularly when it comes to sustainability, durability and longevity. Our range includes the Oleum Blue and Red Liquids, as well as Rhodamine B 500.
Defoamers
A Defoamer is a chemical additive that assists in reducing and prohibiting foam formation in an industrial process. They are used in a broad range of industries, finding purpose in the production of detergent, food, industrial processes and pharmaceuticals.
Raw Materials
Almost everything we use today relies on raw materials in the design, manufacturing and development phases. As the world continues to experiment with the use of raw materials, Oleum seeks to keep up with continually changing requirements.
Dow Glycol Ethers
Glycol ethers are excellent solvents for many types of applications. The combination of an alcohol and an ether functional group in the same molecule provides unique solvency characteristics with both polar and non-polar properties. This surfactant-like structure gives glycol ethers the ability to couple unlike liquid phases and be miscible in a broad range of hydrophilic and hydrophobic solvents.
BASF Amines
At Oleum, we create chemistry for a sustainable future. We are committed to providing forward-thinking solutions to the environmental and macroeconomic issues faced by a wide range of Australian industries. BASF Amines are found in a range of products used as starting materials for coatings, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. They also supply acids used in detergents and crop protectants.
