Ethonas FAE: The Power of Sustainable Surfactants


At PCG, we are on a continuous journey to actively integrate sustainability into our operations and product development. A clear example of this commitment is our Ethonas FAE—a plant-derived surfactant with RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) certification. This accreditation is granted to products that are responsibly sourced from plantations striving to minimise environmental impact and support responsible land use practices that consider biodiversity and ecosystems. The process involves rigorous audits and uncompromising compliance checks designed to uphold strict environmental, social, and economic criteria.


Ethonas FAE is a versatile product, known for its strong cleansing, foaming, and emulsifying properties across many applications, from personal care to industrial products. Made from natural-based raw materials, it is readily biodegradable. Its efficient concentration allows for optimal use in product formulations, while its excellent cleaning power effectively removes common household stains. The product's low to moderate foaming and balanced formulation also make it suitable for a wide range of applications, ensuring effective emulsification for various emulsion systems.


Ethylene is one of the most important petrochemical intermediates. This colourless, flammable gas serves as a foundational feedstock for a wide variety of products.
