Brenntag + Capsoil: your partners in water-free innovation


As sustainability becomes a defining priority for consumers, businesses must adapt to meet evolving expectations.  And one of the compelling trends we're seeing shape the future of product development? Water-free formulations.

By eliminating water, brands gain powerful sustainability advantages:

  • Reduced water usage in production, conserving a critical global resource
  • Lower need for preservatives, minimizing chemical load
  • Flexible packaging options, enabling recyclable materials such as paper and metal
  • Smaller environmental footprint, aligning with consumer demand for eco-conscious solutions

Removing water delivers clear advantages, but success depends on choosing technologies that perform as well as they support sustainability. 

At Brenntag, we help formulators move confidently toward water-free solutions with Capsoil sugar-based, self-emulsifying powders.
