Emery Oleochemicals LLC: Anti-fogging agent provides alternative to NPEs

Emery Oleochemicals LLC launched LOXIOL® A 4 SPEZIAL, a 100% renewably-derived antifogging agent and alternative to NPEs (nonylphenol ethoxylate).

The use of NPEs is already banned by the European Union. While the phase-out of NPEs currently may be done on a voluntary basis in the U.S., large consumer companies like Wal-Mart are encouraging suppliers to reduce or even eliminate the use of NPEs due to their potential impact on human health and the environment.
