CITROFOL^® AI (triethyl citrate) is a bio-based ingredient, widely used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food applications, but also as plasticiser in materials with food contact.

CITROFOL^® AII (triethyl O-acetylcitrate) is a non-toxic plasticiser especially desirable in products serving the medical, pharmaceutical and food contact market.

CITROFOL^® BI is an efficient primary plasticiser mainly used in industrial applications which shows superior efficacy compared to phthalates. For esterification of CITROFOL^® BI eco we use butanol from renewable resources - this increases the bio-based share to 100%.

CITROFOL^® BII is a versatile citric acid ester which has not only been applied in industrial uses, but also in healthcare and personal care products. CITROFOL^® BII eco is esterified with butanol from renewable resources and increases the bio-based share to 90%.

Citric acid DC is a direct compressible citric acid with a thin layer of maltodextrin on the surface. Citric acid DC provides higher tablet hardness at lower pressing force.

Citric acid S40 is a very fine powder, blended with a slight amount of anti-caking agent silicon dioxide (SiO₂), which displays a high ability to absorb spurs of humidity.

CITROCOAT^® N is a citric acid with a monosodium citrate coating. Compared to regular citric acid, CITROCOAT^® N is less hygroscopic and less reactive with other ingredients in crystalline form.

CITROCOAT^® EP is an agglomerated effervescent compound, bringing citric acid and sodium bicarbonate together in the right composition to create a highly reactive but storage-stable effervescent powder.
