Industrial refining of edible oils and industrial oils
"Feasting the eyes" is a well-known expression. Without the adsorbents and additives made by Süd-Chemie, including the Tonsil range of products, many culinary feasts would not be conceivable.
Golden yellow edible oils are possible because of the ability of the additives made by Süd-Chemie to bind undesirable contaminants and suspended substances.
Almost all known vegetable oils such as soybean, palm, rapeseed, sunflower, corn and cotton seed oils are purified, clarified and bleached with products manufactured by Süd-Chemie.
However, the extraordinary physical and chemical properties of the Süd-Chemie vegetable oil additives are also harnessed for refining industrial oils. In the biofuels and biodiesel market, too, the additives made by Süd-Chemie have attained a high reputation.
The Tonsil® products are highly active adsorbents of premium quality produced from natural bentonites by acid activation where their high level of absorption, their acidic and alkaline properties and their ion exchange ability are of critical importance.
