Paris (France) andBristol(Pennsylvania,USA) (June 23, 2008) - Improved cost-effectiveness and eco-friendly properties are the key factors strengthening Rhodia’s position as a global leader in the specialty surfactant market.

Rhodia provides innovative surfactant systems - structured surfactant liquids, polymeric and eco-friendly surfactants - for use in home and personal care, agrochemicals and other industrial applications.

Rhodia uses sustainable chemistry to develop surfactant-based systems in partnership with customers delivering the following benefits:

  • Cost-effective performance: increased process efficiency, energy and raw materials savings, highly-concentrated products;
