Home Care
Detergency and Home We have developed a series of surfactants to assist in formulating cleaners, detergents, and disinfectants for home care. Through more than ten families of surfactants, we aim to facilitate formulations by providing different functions for various applications.
Market
The detergency market is divided into the following segments:
- Home care
- Industrial and institutional cleaning.
It is focused on meeting consumer needs, concentrating on the following main applications:
- Laundry
- Dishwashing
- Floor and surface cleaning
- CIP (cleaning in place)
- Medical care (sanitization and disinfection)
- Automotive care
Products and Features
Ethoxylated Alcohols:
-
Used for formulating dry detergents, laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and general cleaning.
Employed as HLB modifiers in cleaning formulations, including laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, general cleaners, solvent-based cleaners, and floor polishers.
- Sorbitan Esters:
- Used as co-solvents for fragrances in liquid detergent formulations.
- Ethoxylated Alkylphenols:
These families belong to non-ionic surfactants. They possess various functions and application possibilities, are compatible with ionic surfactants, maintain effectiveness in hard water, and resist significant pH variations.
Useful in formulating institutional, industrial, and household cleaners, as well as laundry detergents.
- Sulfated Nonylphenol Ammonium Salt:
This family belongs to anionic ionic surfactants and possesses high foaming and solubilizing capabilities.
Used in formulating institutional, industrial, and household cleaners, as well as laundry detergents.
- Phosphate Esters:
This family belongs to anionic ionic surfactants.
They possess hydrotropic and corrosion-inhibiting characteristics.
Used in institutional, industrial, and household cleaners.
- Polyethylene Glycols:
Encompassed by the PEG series, these are ethylene oxide polymers with varying molecular weights, each PEG exhibiting different characteristics, functions, and applications depending on molecular weight.
They provide hydrotropic properties to liquid soaps and detergents.
- Amine Oxides:
Non-ionic surfactants with pseudo-cationic tendencies in acidic pH. Their non-ionic character provides compatibility with other types of surfactants.
Biodegradable surfactants.
Resistant to alkaline environments and stable in combination with hypochlorite.
Widely used in glass cleaner formulations.
Foaming agent and viscosity promoter in the formulation of liquid detergents for industrial/home cleaning or personal care.
- Sulfosuccinates:
Anionic ionic surfactants with stability in pH from 2 to 9. They generate foam and provide wetting and solubilizing capacities.
Used in institutional, industrial, and household cleaners, as well as detergents for hard surfaces and glassware.
