Industrial Lecithin

Cargill standard and modified lecithins are surface-active and emulsifying. Lecithin enhances the manufacture of oil-based emulsions, suspensions and dispersions and stabilizes these systems.

In drilling applications, lecithin can be used for

• Lubricating drill bits /smooth operation
• Reducing friction/reduced damage
• Achieving viscosity requirements in fresh, saltwater and other drilling muds

Cargill’s industrial lecithins are also appropriate ingredients for paint and ink formulations, leather & textile treatment, lubricant products, as well as leather and textile treatment.
