Propylene glycol, an organic compound with the chemical formula C3H8O2, is a versatile ingredient found in a wide array of products. At Arcadia Chemical and preservative, we recognize the importance of this multifunctional substance and its crucial role in various industries. Let's explore the diverse applications and benefits of propylene glycol.

SeaCure™ represents an innovative line of 100% organic, phosphate-free seafood processing aids. Developed by Arcadia Chemical and preservative, these products effectively replace traditional phosphate-based solutions like Sodium Tripolyphosphate E451(i), SHMP, and SAPP. The SeaCure™ line includes specialized formulations for different seafood types (Shrimp, Fish, Lobster) and provides moisture control through protein stabilization while preventing melanosis and discoloration. Made with US & EU Food Grade ingredients in a cGMP facility, SeaCure™ products maintain natural nutrient content, enhance shelf stability, and improve texture and appearance of seafood products.

SeaFresh™ is a specialized blend designed for preventing melanosis (black spot) in shrimp and other crustaceans. Unlike sulfite treatments, it effectively binds to melanosis-causing enzymes, providing protection that persists through rinsing, refrigeration, and thawing. Its easy-to-use formulation is effective at low concentrations, making it an efficient solution for the seafood processing industry.

Alkyl Poly Glucoside (APG) is a naturally-derived surfactant produced from renewable resources like glucose and fatty alcohols. This biodegradable compound combines excellent cleaning performance with environmental sustainability. Its gentle nature and versatility make it ideal for personal care and household cleaning formulations where both effectiveness and natural origin are valued, particularly in applications requiring mild, eco-friendly ingredients.

Laureth-6 is a versatile non-ionic surfactant belonging to the lauryl alcohol ethoxylate family. With its moderate ethoxylation level, it provides excellent emulsification and solubilizing properties while maintaining balanced water solubility. This surfactant is particularly effective in personal care and industrial formulations, offering reliable performance as an emulsifier, solubilizer, and cleansing agent.

Laureth-7 is a non-ionic surfactant with a higher degree of ethoxylation than Laureth-6, providing enhanced water solubility and superior emulsification properties. This versatile surfactant excels in personal care formulations, offering excellent solubilizing capabilities and stable emulsion formation. Its balanced properties make it particularly valuable in cleansing products and emulsion systems where enhanced stability and mildness are required.
