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.

Alcoguard H 5941 is a readily biodegradable hybrid polymer based on natural and synthetic components for cleaning applications. Alcoguard H 5941 performs similarly to widely available synthetic petrochemicals but is based on 75% renewable resources (polysaccharides). It has a significantly lower carbon footprint (lifecycle assessment available) than traditional petrochemical based polymers. All of this makes Alcoguard H 5941 an attractive, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional polymers.
