BPX Gemini

  • The critical micelle concentration of BPX-GEZ is up to 10 times lower than that of similar monomeric surfactants
  • Reduces turbidity of longer-tailed polymer surfactants such as APG
  • Increases the foaming and emulsifying ability of eco-friendly surfactants (e.g. APG 12-14)
  • Can work as a co-emulsifier in emulsions such as creams, lotions and milks
  • Biodegradable and produced with the use of plant materials
BPX-GEZ is a zwitter-ionic dimeric surfactant with a unique spacer that contains carboxyamide groups and is easily biodegradable.

BPX-GEZ enhanced foaming, foam stability and emulsifying ability of eco-friendly surfactants. Besides, the product can work as a co-emulsifier in emulsions such as creams, lotions and milks.
BPX Gemini is a patent-pending range of additives for eco-friendly surfactants for use in personal care products.

Modifications of BPX Gemini

BPX-GEZ

Zwitterionic modification of the BPX Gemini surfactant additives.


BPX-GEZ was shown to decrease CMC and as such turbidity of APG 12-14.


The key capabilities of the modification are the increase

in foaming and foam stability

as well as emulsifying ability.

BPX Gemini additives are aqueous solutions of dimeric surfactants. Dimeric surfactants have two polar heads and two hydrophobic tails connected by a spacer.

BPX Gemini are derived from plant origin raw materials containing amino and fatty acids derived from coconut or alternatively from palm kernel oil. The unique feature of the BPX range of dimeric surfactants is the spacer contains carboxyamide groups easily cleavable by natural proteases and as such biodegradable.

BPX-GEZ forms aggregates with surfactants leading to a lower critical micelle concentration (CMC) and, as a result, an increase in the detergent performance. The biodegradability claim is under external verification.
