H-Quest® B 105 sodium glucoheptonate has many industrial uses as a high-performance chelating agent. Its superior performance in the pH range between 9 and 14 is due to its efficiency in forming stable chelates with divalent and trivalent metal ions such as Ca+2, Mg+2, Fe+2, Fe+3, Zn+2, Al+3, etc.

STEPANTEX® CA-88E presents itself as a top-tier fabric softener featuring a quaternary esterquat formulation derived from vegetable canola sources. Tailored for household and industrial fabric softeners. Notably, it delivers superior softening effects while avoiding any greasy residue, ensuring a luxuriously soft feel without compromising quality. Its versatility extends to effortlessly creating aqueous dispersions at room temperature, enhancing convenience in various formulations. Beyond fabric softening, it serves diverse applications, including polish compounds, textile auxiliaries, leather conditioners, and water repellents.

T-Det® PEG 20000 is a 100% active polyetheylene glycol with an average molecular weight of 20000. It can be used as a lubricant, thickener, defoaming agent, mold release agent, softener, conditioner, and as a dispersant. Additionally, PEG€™s can be used to make chemical intermediates such as fatty acid esters.

WeylClean® SKS-6 WB is a layered sodium disilicate, a modern water softening system that works via ion exchange processes without the formation of precipitates. It shows excellent calcium and magnesium ion elimination, especially at low water hardness conditions. It is compatible with sensitive detergent additives and has good heavy metal binding capacity.

Leunapon -F 1214/5/P4 is a liquid solution designed for textile manufacturing, containing alcohol ethoxylates. It offers excellent stability, good solubility, and low foaming, ensuring optimal performance. With properties like good wetting, it serves as an effective surfactant and solubilizer in textile auxiliaries. Packaged in bulk, drums, and totes, it's convenient for industrial applications.

Dissolvine M-X is a high purity, versatile and readily biodegradable chelate. It can replace phosophorous-containing builders, enhance the cleaning power of a detergent, and prevent deactivation of surfactants in hard water. The active component is MGDA, a chelating agent with three carboxylic groups. Together with the central nitrogen atom these carboxylic groups provide strong multiple bonds with di- and trivalent metal ions. The small molecular size enables rapid action at low temperatures and in short contact time. The MGDA trisodium salt is fully REACH registered. Excellent low toxicity and low eco-toxicological permit non-dangerous labelling. MGDA-Na3 is listed on EPA’s Safer Chemical Ingredients List in the United States. As an ingredient in cleaning formulations, the MGDA in Dissolvine M-X improves the descaling and cleaning capabilities. This includes whiteness and color care benefits in laundry and stain removal abilities in automatic dish washing (ADW). Since MGDA is also a strong chelating agent for heavy metal ions, such as Fe and Cu, it enhances product stability and prevents negative effects of transition metals.

Mosselman DTPA 5Na Liquid (140-01-2) is the aqueous solution of the pentasodium salt of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid.

Mosselman NTA 3Na (5064-31-3) is an organic chelating agent for detergents and cleaners. The active substance is the sodium salt of nitrilotriacetic acid.

Noverite™ LD920N Polymer is a naturally-derived copolymer designed for reduced energy and water consumption in the manufacture of laundry detergent powders. This chelating polymer can also be used in both powder and liquid laundry detergents to provide anti-encrustation and anti-redeposition benefits.
