HI&I and Nonwovens
For both automatic and hand dishwashing we have a range of products to match the demands of today’s market.
Caring for oneself and caring for the environment are equally high priority when formulating dishwashing detergents, and our range of dishwash ingredients are ideally placed to tackle these sometimes conflicting goals.
Automatic Dishwash
Dishwashing detergents need to be able to efficiently remove the toughest stains, whilst protecting dishes, cutlery and glasses. They must also be safe to use and by using our environmentally friendly ingredients you can sustainably develop high performance formulations. Formats and secondary packaging can also be utilised to support and maintain sales growth via the offer of convenience or performance to the consumer. Our range of rheology modifiers offers endless design and format possibilities.
The effect of chemicals on the skin is less of a concern in automatic dishwash, but their effect on the environment can be a real issue. We have a range of ingredients designed to provide a high level of foam control and excellent rinse aid action, whilst minimizing the downstream environmental impact. With the move towards life cycle analysis, our range of bio-based ingredients can help contribute to improved machine efficiency, resulting in lower energy usage.
Hand Dishwash
Foam stability, viscosity, pH and grease cutting are the main requirements for hand dishwash detergents. However, marketing superior cleaning performance and alternative uses (beyond dish cleaning), and developing unusual fragrances can help drive consumer engagement in hand dishwashing. Our extensive range of botanical extracts from Crodarom™ can also help to differentiate products on the shelf; this is especially important with the growing health and wellbeing consumer trends.
Some examples of the claims that can be made are: mildness, softening, hydrating, cleansing and protection. Formulation ingredient awareness amongst consumers is on the rise; with more people being selective in the products they are willing to expose their skin to. Surfactant ingredients with proven mildness are therefore a major benefit for any hand dish wash product. Our multifunctional surfactants, often derived from natural resources, have proven mildness to skin and can also provide luxurious foaming, as well as offering corrosion inhibition and hydrotroping.
