Brands in Performance Additives

SILFOAM® is WACKER’s innovative brand for smart foam control products. It covers silicone-based integrated system solutions for regulatingfoam-intensive applications, and thereby optimizing processes and end products. SILFOAM® foam-control systems are the result of a continuous process of applied R&D. SILFOAM® is carefully tested for its compatibility and effectiveness in the customer's formulations, thereby avoiding overfoaming in advance.

NatraSense™ is a 100% bio-based additive that reduces the foaming of high foam surfactants and provides a rinse aid action in auto dishwashing. It gives a reduction in the contact angle of water on a series of common kitchen surfaces including glass, ceramic, stainless steel, and plastic, which ultimately results in better wetting of the surface and faster drying.

Renex™ are polymers of ethylene oxide. This polymeric material is an excellent solubilizer and can be used in a wide variety of home care and I&I applications.

Samurai™ is an ultra-powerful, industrial- grade cleaner designed to attack the toughest of cleaning jobs without the hazards associated with caustic cleaners or hazardous solvents.

CEDEPHOS is the acid form of a complex mixture of mono- and di-phosphate esters based on an aliphatic hydrophobe. This anionic surfactant offers the combination of exceptional alkali solubility with excellent coupling ability for nonionics in liquid formulations. It is used in heavy-duty, alkaline industrial detergent systems, textile wet processing, pulp deresination, dedusting agents and corrosion inhibitors.

Cithrol™ is a beeswax derivative with excellent compatibility & binding properties. It builds consistency and aids spreading, ideal for use in color cosmetics and lipsticks.

ModiSurf™ is a novel hard surface modification technology, which increases the hydrophilicity of hard surfaces, making soils easier to remove. It also provides a protective layer that can reduce re-soiling. ModiSurf™ is effective against common household soils and across a range of surfaces in either acid or alkaline cleaning formulations.

Corona™ is a cosmetic-grade anhydrous lanolin. It is a widely used emulsion stabilizer and emulsifier (W/O). It is an excellent skin moisturizer and superfatting agent, with a high water absorption capacity. It is used in skin care, sun care, lipsticks, soaps, and detergent systems.

Valida contains the smallest component of cellulose – cellulose fibrils. Dispersed in water, cellulose fibrils form an extensive network through hydrogen bonding and mechanical entanglement. The formed network stabilises particles in suspension and oil-in-water emulsions without an emulsifier.

Crodazoline™ is a water-dispersible corrosion inhibitor. It is suitable for use in a wide range of oilfield applications, particularly for temporary corrosion protection.

Coltide™ is an advanced copolymer of hydrolyzed wheat protein and silicone. Recommended for use in fabric care, Coltide™ combines the unique functionalities of both molecules into one ingredient.

BIO-TERGE® is an anionic surfactant providing excellent viscosity, foam characteristics and mildness. It is an ideal surfactant for a variety of HI&I cleaning and personal care applications, agricultural formulations, and construction products used for concrete bases, firefighting foams and dust control.

NACCONOL® is an anionic surfactant providing superior detergency, foaming, wetting and emulsification properties. It is used in household, institutional and industrial detergents,

Crodateric™ is a mild surfactant with gentle cleansing properties. It acts as a foam booster/stabilizer.

Syncrowax™ is the triglyceride ester of long-chain (C18-36) fatty acids. It is a highly crystalline wax and confers a high degree of rigidity to formulations. Syncrowax™ has similar properties to Carnauba wax and so can provide an excellent glossy finish in wax and polish formulations.

BTC® is a quaternary for formulation into a wide variety of institutional and industrial cleaning applications,

Crodarom® is a nordic Cotton extract that can be used in fabric care formulations, adding freshness to formulations.

Phytessence™ is a naturally derived extract, offering botanical claims to hard surface cleaning applications, such as floor cleaning.

Naxonac® products include anionic surfactants, one of the main advantages of phosphate esters is their stability and solubility in alkali systems. They can be used as hydrotropes to couple nonionic surfactants systems which are not soluble and at the same time increase wetting and detergency properties. The presence of the phosphate group imparts some interactions with metallic surfaces, thereby exhibiting some anti-corrosion and metal-adhesion characteristics. They can be used as additives in oil and water-soluble lubricant systems to improve lubricity, anti-frictional properties of the formula. Phosphate esters also find use as emulsifiers in emulsion polymerization.

Crodazosoft™ is a softening and conditioning agent for hair. With 70% active quaternary, it utilizes unique chemistry to provide formulators with a variety of functional benefits that include exceptional softening and conditioning properties.

Clinton is a range of industrial corn starches manufactured by ADM. It consists of unmodified, acid-modified, or oxidized corn starches that can be used in chemical production, paper manufacturing, and thermal conversion processes. These corn starches can be used as a binder, film former, oil absorber, rheology modifier, stabilizer, or texturizer in various applications.

Crodex™ is an extremely mild and robust anionic emulsifying wax that can also be used as a one-pot process ingredient. It boasts a broad pH range tolerance of pH 3.5 to pH 13.5 and is easy to use with difficult-to-use ingredients. It provides pleasant esthetics and is suitable for a variety of personal care formulations. It achieves stable formulations at 5°C. Crodex™ is the perfect anionic emulsifying wax for emerging personal care markets.

Acylan™ is acetylated lanolin used for fiber/surface protection. It is soft solid in form and has applications in fabric & laundry care, hard surface cleaning, and industrial and institutional cleaning.
