Products in Carpet & Upholstery: Polishes

XIAMETER(TM) PMX-200 Silicone Fluid 12,500 cSt is a high-viscosity polydimethylsiloxane polymer manufactured to yield essentially linear polymers in a wide range of viscosities. The viscosities generally used in formulating polishes are in the range of 100 to 30,000 cSt. It is preferable to use a blend of a low-viscosity fluid and a high-viscosity fluid (e.g. 3 parts XIAMETER(TM) PMX- 200 Silicone Fluid 100 cSt and 1 part XIAMETER(TM) PMX-200 Silicone Fluid 12,500 cSt) to obtain optimum results in terms of ease of application and depth of gloss. The low-viscosity silicone fluid acts as a lubricant to make polish application and rubout easier, whereas the high-viscosity silicone fluid produces a greater depth of gloss. Since these polymers are inherently water-repellent, they will cause water to bead up on a treated surface rather than penetrate the polish film.

Quaternary silicone with high surface affinity.

HANSA CARE 9180 ECO is a microemulsion of sugar-modified siloxane for use as an ingredient in home and car care applications. It may be used in floor cleaners and floor care products to impart protection against water damage without compromising their nonslip characteristics. This technology can also be used in fabric conditioners to provide enhanced softness and intensify fragrances.

Low viscosity aminosiloxane with a high water repellence.

HANSA CARE 7140 ECO is a silicone solution used as an ingredient for home and car care applications. These aminosiloxanes are modified siloxanes with nitrogen groups. The modification degree leads to optimal performance in aqueous or solvent-borne formulations for home and car care applications. These products are excellently suited for use in polishes, wax formulations, and drying aids in automatic or manual car washes. It also provides perfect drying characteristics such as good water repellence and excellent gloss.

Zinador™ 22L is a 100% bio-based odor neutralizer that has been proven to effectively combat a wide range of household and industrial odors. Independent testing conducted by trained panelists has demonstrated its effectiveness in eliminating common malodors. With no need for emulsifiers or chelators in formulation, Zinador 22L is cost-effective and easy to use. It is developed and produced using Itaconix polymer technology.

NatraSense™ AG-810 is a 100% bio-based surfactant designed to provide multiple benefits to a formulation. With good tolerance to salts, builders, and extremes of pH, NatraSense™ AG-810 can be easily incorporated into a variety of cleaning formulations. NatraSense™ AG-810 has been proven not to cause stress-cracking of plastics, a common issue with conventional nonionic surfactants, while at the same time providing gloss retention and streak-free cleaning.
