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.
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.
Function | Product | Chemical identity |
Surfactant (anionic) | Crodafos range | Alkyl ether phosphates |
Crodafos alkyl ether phosphates are anionic surfactants stable in strongly alkaline systems which facilitate wetting and penetration as well as subsequent water rinsing. As a good foaming agent, Crodafos T5A in particular is useful in aerosol foam cleaners where it also imparts some anticorrosion protection.
Forward thinking ingredients for modern kitchen cleaning
The kitchen has evolved to become a hub for activity and one of the most used rooms of a modern household. Constant utilization means kitchen surfaces need tough cleaning solutions to tackle the daily assault of dirt and grime.
Daily cleaning is a tedious task for any household so consumers look for quick and effective solutions.
Croda can bring a number of effective products for hard surfaces designed to wet and penetrate tough kitchen soils. Multifunctional ingredients from Croda have been developed to target stains, break them down and to suspend them in the wash mix until rinsed away.
