APG group took part to Vitafoods 2018, the global neutraceutical event.
Vitafoods is an important yearly fair where food industry stakeholders meet to propose innovative products to the market.

A fantastic oil that find  many applications in the cosmetic field: being a fully saturated oil, it is an inert and stable emollient. It finds application in Aerosols, Creams, Ointments, Lotions, Lipsticks.
Our MCT Oils are 100% natural products, obtained from virgin coconut oil via physical processes only.
Starting from coconut oil, a fraction enriched in medium chain triglycerides is isolated from a first distillation. A second high performance molecular distillation allows to obtain different products.
We have selected three main fractions with increasing lauric acid content (2, 10 and 15%):
MCT2, MCT10 and MCT15, available both as non-organic and organic grade upon request.

Dielectric evolution
Paryol Electra 7426® is an advanced dielectric insulating oil designed and developed with the aim of minimizing the environmental impact. This product exhibits noticeable differences if compared with any other insulating liquid marketed since the beginning of the transformers technology.
Paryol Electra 7426® is based on a peculiar mixture of vegetable oils, able to cuple excellent dielectric characteristics with stability at high temperature.

Quenching revolution
Paryol bioTemproil® is purposely formulated to achieve a full workers' safety and minimize environmental impact:
unlike most quenching media on the market, based on fluids of mineral origin, bioTemproil® is a fully biodegradable natural product, obtained from the expression of vegetal raw materials, able to achieve top-level performances.

On the 1st of june 2015 Aspiration toxicity, Category 1 - H304, will be an important new voice of the CLP regulation, avoidable by employing our range of esters.

Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP), already into force since 2010 for substances, will be applied to mixtures as well on the 1st of june 2015. Mixtures treated to date according to the criteria of Directive 1999/45/EC, will have to be classified, labelled and packaged exclusively according to the new criteria set by the Regulation. Specialized technicians at A&A Fratelli Parodi offer to their customers their experience to avoid the H304 classification, thanks to the substitution of hydrocarbons with esters with analogous performance in their mixtures.

Innovation, respect for the environment and continous product improvements are our responses to meet the market demands. This is why we chose to study and quantify the environmental sustainability of our products and processes.
We have performed, in collaboration with CE.Si.SP (Centre for Development of Products Sustainability), University of Genoa, a Carbon Footprint Study for the life cycle of products based on vegetable oils, used as hydraulic fluids and metal hardening, compared with those of mineral oils used for the same applications.

A&A Fratelli Parodi Spa, a leader company in the production of vegetable oils, esters, waxes and butters, vegetable based products that find application in the cosmetic and industrial fields, is UNI EN ISO 9001:2008, UNI EN ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007 certified. Strict quality standard procedures are followed in all departments, with the aim of meeting all the necessary requirements. Efficiency is best achieved by optimizing resources and flexibility technologies.

Attention to quality has granted us the most valuable reward: customers' trust.
