Examples of our work

Essential Oil Production

WCL supplies companies with solutions for the industrial production of Essential oils.

Our approach and systems

Essential oils have emerged as a powerhouse in the realm of natural products, cherished for their myriad of benefits. These concentrated plant extracts embody the essence of aromatic plants and find utility in a plethora of applications, such as aromatherapy, skincare, cleaning products, and culinary endeavours.

At WCL Solutions, we understand that essential oils are potent natural substances brimming with therapeutic properties. They are meticulously extracted from various plant parts, including flowers, leaves, bark, seeds, roots, and twigs, to ensure the highest quality.

Plant Selection

The journey begins with the careful selection of plants. The choice of plants is paramount, as different species yield varying amounts and types of essential oils. Factors like botanical species, growing conditions, and geographic location are critical in determining the oil's quality and aroma.

Paste and Putty Manufacture

To create putties and paste we have the powerful mixers and other specialist equipment to disperse all required materials while treating dangerous goods and corrosive with utmost care.

Plant Material Preparation

Post-harvest, the plant material undergoes preparation, where unnecessary parts are removed. The remaining material is then primed for extraction.

Steam Distillation

The most prevalent method, where steam is used to evaporate the essential oil from the plant material. The vapor is then condensed to separate the oil.

Solvent Extraction

Used for delicate plants or those with low oil content. A solvent dissolves the essential oil, which is then evaporated to leave behind the concentrated oil.

Filtering and Purification

The oil undergoes filtration and purification to remove any impurities, ensuring its purity and clarity.

Bottling and Packaging

The essential oil is then bottled in dark glass containers to protect it from sunlight, labeled with pertinent information such as the oil's name, botanical species, and extraction method.

Marketing and Distribution

The packaged essential oils are then marketed and distributed, with efforts to provide informative product descriptions and appealing labels through various sales channels.

Environmental Impact

The manufacturing process of essential oils can have both positive and negative impacts on the environment. WCL Solutions is committed to sustainable practices, such as responsible sourcing and eco-friendly extraction methods, to minimize our ecological footprint.

Plant Harvesting

After selection, the plants are harvested at the peak of their oil content. Timing is crucial, as it significantly influences the quality of the oil. Some plants are handpicked, while others are harvested using specialized machinery to preserve the oil-rich parts.

Chemical Repacking

Do you need to convert a product to make it easier to sell or more convenient to store? Our team can offer a range of options in terms of repacking goods.

Extraction Techniques

Several methods are employed to extract essential oils.

Cold-Press Extraction

Mainly used for citrus fruits like oranges and lemons, where the rinds are pressed to extract the oil.

Essential Oil Separation

Following extraction, the essential oil is separated from the mixture using techniques like decantation, centrifugation, or filtration.

Testing and Quality Control

Rigorous testing is conducted to verify the oil's authenticity, purity, and chemical composition, adhering to industry standards.

Storage and Preservation

Proper storage is crucial to maintain the quality and shelf life of essential oils. They should be kept in a cool, dark place, tightly sealed to prevent oxidation and evaporation.

Safety Considerations

It's important to use essential oils safely, as some can cause skin irritation or sensitization. Following guidelines and seeking professional advice is recommended.

Common Uses

Essential oils are versatile, used in aromatherapy, skincare, natural cleaning solutions, and culinary applications.

Usage Tips

To ensure effective and safe use of essential oils, it's important to follow certain tips and guidelines.

At WCL Solutions, we are dedicated to providing high-quality essential oils, crafted with care and expertise, to enhance your well-being and lifestyle.

SPECIALISED CLEANING PRODUCTS

As a chemist at WCL Solutions, your expertise in understanding the intricate interplay of chemical properties is vital in creating effective and safe cleaning formulations. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the essential components and considerations in developing a successful cleaning formulation.

Selecting the Ideal Surfactant for Your Formulations

The cornerstone of any cleaning agent is the surfactant. The right choice of surfactant is critical for the formulation’s effectiveness. Surfactants are unique compounds that reduce the surface tension between liquids or between a liquid and a solid, facilitating the interaction between the liquid and gas/air phases. In cleaning agents, surfactants play a crucial role by enabling the solution to penetrate and lift dirt and grease from surfaces, suspending them within the solution.

When choosing a surfactant, consider its hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value, which indicates its affinity for water or oil. A surfactant with a high HLB value is more hydrophilic, making it suitable for cleaning water-soluble soils. Conversely, a surfactant with a low HLB value is more lipophilic, ideal for tackling oil-based soils.

Other vital factors to consider include the surfactant’s compatibility with other ingredients, its stability across various pH levels, its environmental impact, and its cost-effectiveness.

Selecting Additional Ingredients

Beyond the surfactant, your cleaning formulation may require other ingredients like solvents, chelators, and pH adjusters to enhance its effectiveness. Solvents can dissolve oily residues, while chelating agents can bind with minerals to prevent them from hindering the cleaning agent's performance.

When selecting these additional ingredients, ensure their compatibility with the surfactant and other components, their efficacy in boosting the cleaning agent's performance, and their environmental footprint.

Formulating and Testing

With the right surfactant and additional ingredients in hand, the next step is to formulate and test your cleaning agent. Formulation involves mixing the surfactant, other ingredients, and water in precise proportions to achieve the desired cleaning efficacy.
Testing the cleaning agent's performance is crucial, encompassing evaluations of its ability to remove various soil types from different surfaces, its stability under different conditions, and its environmental impact.

Conclusion

Creating a cleaning agent at WCL Solutions demands a deep comprehension of chemical properties and their interactions. Selecting the right surfactant and additional ingredients, formulating the cleaning agent, and rigorously testing its performance are all essential steps in developing a successful cleaning product. As a chemist, your expertise enables you to tailor cleaning formulations that meet specific client needs while ensuring safety and minimal environmental impact.
