Surfactants
Surfactants are the basis for every single formulation in the Industrial & Home Care business. A wide range of options is of fundamental importance for customers.
Many Clariant surfactants can be offered from various production sites to fulfill regional needs in a cost-effective way. Clariant focuses on increasing the efficiency of surfactant systems in cleaning formulations as this addresses a key aspect of sustainability.
Our ongoing search for sustainable solutions led us to GlucoPure™: innovative and high-performing sugar-based surfactants for hand dishwashing and hard surface cleaners. GlucoPure™ is based on sugar and natural oils such as RSPO certified palm oil resulting in a Renewable Carbon Index of up to 95%.
From specific blends to facilitate and accelerate the production of many different formulations from our customers, to synergy concepts based on the versatile and powerful performance-boosting ammonium quaternary Hostapur HY. Our range allows formulations even with anionic surfactants, and enables a reduction in the total amount of surfactants used.
Clariant offers a complete portfolio of surfactants including:
- Anionics
- Ethoxylates
- Amine Oxides
