Pilot Chemical Company has entered an exclusive partnership with Kao Corporation to bring a new sustainable surfactant technology, Bio IOS biobased internal olefin sulfonates, to the North American market.
Bio IOS technology will enable customers to meet sustainability goals without compromising performance in a range of household, industrial and institutional, personal care and other applications, company officials said.
The partnership will leverage Kao’s Bio IOS technology and commercial-scale feedstock supply. Pilot will serve as the exclusive marketing channel and sulfonation partner of Bio IOS technology for North America and will produce Bio IOS biobased internal olefin sulfonates at commercial scale in its Middletown, OH facility.
“Kao has a rich history in the chemical and consumer products industries and provides sustainable and high-quality products and services to consumers around the globe,” said Mike Clark, CEO of Pilot Chemical Company. “We are excited to add Kao’s high-performance, sustainable technology to our line of innovative biobased surfactants.”
Bio IOS biobased surfactant provides water solubility and surface activity, for use as primary or secondary surfactants in a variety of applications, including laundry, dish, hard surface cleaning and personal care applications.
Commercial quantities will be available starting in 2026.
