New Haven, CT - P2 Science is a newly formed company, using patent pending technology from the Yale Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering to develop and manufacture a new class of high performance surfactants, C-glycosides (CGs). CGs will find application in a range of consumer and industrial products such as detergents, personal care products, cosmetics, lubricants, hard-surface cleaners, emulsion polymers, mining and oil field chemicals and many other areas. The new surfactants are mild in use, stable, customizable and manufactured in low energy intensive conditions. Patrick Foley, the lead Yale inventor in the c-glycoside field, is the company’s chief scientific officer.
