- Carpet & Upholstery Care
Natural ingredients for fiber care
Croda's niche surfactants and fiber care agents are recommended in the formulation of household carpet/shampoos, upholstered furniture cleaners, spotters and stain removers.Consumer products in this category are usually marketed as concentrated or ready-to-use liquids, trigger sprays and aerosols. They are formulated to wet the pile or fabric surface and take up oily and greasy soils. Shampoos in particular provide a system that traps soil in suspension and dries to a solid residue. The brittle residue containing the soil particles is then removed by vacuuming. The addition of solvents such as isopropyl alcohol or glycol ethers can aid the removal of grease and dirt.
- Window & Multisurface Cleaners
Functional ingredients for glass & multisurface care
Window, glass and multisurface cleaners are formulated to effectively remove grease and airborne particles from glass without smearing or streaking. Product types include trigger pack window cleaners and car screenwash products.These products are clear solutions consisting of blends of solvents such as isopropyl alcohol and glycol ethers, which have excellent solvency and coupling properties. Croda offers a selection of additives to enhance the functional performance and market appeal of this product type.
