Brands in Cleaning Aids

Naxamide® products are nonionic surfactants which are found in many household, industrial and institutional applications.

Crodacol™ is a saturated aliphatic fatty alcohol derived from vegetable resources. It is an effective emollient, viscosity builder, and emulsion stabilizer which finds application in the tissue/hygiene industry.

Coronet™ is a solid grade of lanolin. It is a powerful W/O emulsifier and O/W co-emulsifier. This functionality is particularly useful in barrier creams and liquid handsoaps.

STEOL® is a high active product useful in detergents, dishwash, laundry, shampoos, bath products, liquid hand soap and industrial cleaners

STEPANTEX® is a cationic surfactant providing excellent softening, cold water dispersability and good rewetting properties. It is used in household and industrial fabric softeners.

BIO-SOFT® is a nonionic surfactant blend that is an excellent cleaner, degreaser, and detergent. It can be formulated into concentrates and ready-to-use products for household, industrial, and institutional applications.

Crodafos™ is a phosphate ester that is soluble in both paraffinic and naphthenic oils and when neutralized with alkoanolamine, is readily soluble in water.

Synperonic™ is a mild detergent, water-gelling agent, O/W emulsion stabilizer, and solubilizer.

IGEPAL is a nonionic surfactant finding application in household and industrial controlled foam detergents, industrial metal cleaners, floor cleaners and waterless hand cleaners.

Incromine™ imparts body to the hair. It is a viscosity builder used in conditioners and shampoos.

Incromide™ is a foam stabilizer with emulsifying properties. Its applications include shampoos, soaps & bath products.

Vantocil® IB and Vantocil® TG are aqueous solutions of the powerful antibacterial preservative poly(hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride [PHMB], an active offering broad pH tolerance, low foam and good heat stability. Applications are varied, and include surface care, fabric care and automotive care.

Crodaquat™ is a cationic surfactant which works effectively as an emulsifier.

Croduret™ is a co-solubilizer that helps to control the consistency of gel.

Silicone polyethers, or silicone surfactants, contain both a water-insoluble silicone backbone and a number of water-soluble polyether pendant groups. The ratio of the silicone to polyether, and the molecular weight and composition of the components determine the solubility and specific properties of a product. These products exist as multi-pendant and linear di-functional polymers. Siltech offers a broad range of silicone polyethers as well as custom-designed products for specific applications. These are also available in cosmetic grades, where they are commonly referred to as dimethicone copolyols. These products are widely used as emulsifiers, foaming agents, solubilizers and softeners. They are also used in many inks and coatings formulations were they add slip, mar resistance and leveling.

ECO Etocas™ is a 100% bio-based, vegetable-derived, nonionic surfactant, O/W emulsifier, dispersing, and solubilizing agent.

ECO Tween™ is a 100% bio-based ethoxylated sorbitan ester based on a natural fatty acid (palmitic acid). This ethoxylate is highly effective at forming O/W emulsions, particularly when used in combination with its non-ethoxylated derivative.

Functional spreaders, adjuvants; NEEDS improves effects of insecticides and disinfectants through its wettability, rain resistance, spreadability

Crodamol™ is a high-quality ultrafine emollient monoester, developed specially for personal care and pharmaceutical applications. It is an exceptionally light, non-greasy emollient. It is an excellent solvent and solubilizer, glossing agent, and binder/wetting agent for pressed powders. It reduces the whitening effect of antiperspirants. Its applications include skin care products, sunscreens, antiperspirants/deodorants, clear gels, hair styling aids, conditioners, and conditioning shampoos.

ECO Cosmowax™ fatty alcohol ethoxylates are surfactants formed by reacting 100% bio-based ethylene oxide with blends of 100% bio-based fatty alcohols. 100% bio-based ethylene oxide is made from 100% bio-based ethanol, derived from corn, sugar cane, or biomass. The 100% bio-based fatty alcohol blends are derived from palm oil, palm kernel oil, or coconut oil. The ECO Cosmowax™ series contains both hydrophilic and lipophilic products. Depending on the HLB value, ECO Cosmowax™ surfactants can be used to form either oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions or water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, as well as to moisturize, emulsify, disperses, solubilize, and improve wetting. Their performance as moisturizers or emulsifying waxes is considered to be outstanding. ECO Cosmowax™ fatty alcohol ethoxylates are widely used in many personal care applications as well as some industrial applications.

The Naxan® anionic surfactants are a series of sodium salts of alkyl naphthalene sulfonic acid. These products provide excellent wetting, dispersing, hydrotroping and medium to low foaming. They offer acid and base stability, hard-water tolerance and high temperature stability. The naxaf® naphthalene sulfonate–formaldehyde condensates are used primarily as dispersants in a wide variety of industrial applications.
