Rhamnolipids – High-Performance Natural Biosurfactants
Release time: 2025-07-11
BLIT Chemical is a professional manufacturer and supplier of Rhamnolipid CAS 869092-42-0 in China. We offer high-purity glycolipid biosurfactants with full technical documentation for bioremediation, agriculture, cosmetics, and industrial use.
With the rapid growth in demand for bio-based and biodegradable ingredients, petrochemical surfactants are gradually being replaced by sustainable alternatives in areas such as home care, personal care, agriculture and pharmaceuticals. This trend is in line with the global green chemistry and ESG sustainable development goals.

What is Rhamnolipid?
Rhamnolipids are natural biosurfactants produced through microbial fermentation. Their unique structure—composed of rhamnose sugars and fatty acid chains—provides exceptional surface activity, biodegradability, and emulsifying properties.
These eco-friendly surfactants are widely used in green cosmetics, natural household cleaners, and biodegradable industrial detergents.

Summary of the application advantages of rhamnolipids
1.Surface activity: small molecules, fast surface modification, small dosage, high efficiency, strong penetration, fast decontamination, good compatibility
2.Hard water resistance: can strongly bind with calcium and magnesium ions, but resistant to hard water at normal pH
3.Stability: easy to degrade when exposed to high temperature and alkalinity (including weak alkali), but does not affect surface activity
4.Antibacterial property: due to its own structural characteristics, it has strong binding force with biofilm and good antibacterial property
5.Skin feel: It has excellent performance and is related to the rhamnose receptor on the surface of keratinocytes. Therefore, it should have advantages in skin, hair care, and hand washing detergents
6.Environmental and health friendliness: extremely strong, safe for humans, animals and (except eyes) tissues, and can be quickly and completely degraded.
