High value-added finishing auxiliaries
3. Natural auxiliaries
As environment-oriented products, Takamatsu Oil & Fat offers
the following natural-component-based finishing auxiliaries.
Ranges of products with animal, plant or mineral origin are
available. We produce antibacterial, lustering agents and softeners
using animal-base ingredients, such as chitosan extracted from
the shell of crabs, collagen from bovine hide or fish scale,
albumen, fibroin and squalane, the shark liver oil extract.
Our plant-origin auxiliaries include cleaning agents made with
limonene (citrus rind oil), deodorants based on plant extracts,
and natural binders made from glucomannan contained in a Japanese
yam, all has been developed making use of natural, unique powers
of plants and are therefore virtually harmless to the human body.
Available in the form of water dispersion are anion, far-infrared,
deodorant finishing agents, developed through the use of our
technology for dispersing/stabilizing natural ore, mother of
pearl, coral, silicate rock in water (see Table 4).

In accordance with recent concerns for BSE and endocrine disruptors,
care has been taken in our product development, replacing bovine
hide collagen with that of fish scale, lanolin with vegetable
oils and emulsifying/dispersing agents with surfactants that
contain no nonylphenol.
