Avoid sacrificing performance for sustainability with Dow’s latest biobased surfactants
Around the world, there is a growing social conscience calling for products that leave no impact on the environment – but without compromising on performance. At Dow we don’t think anyone should have to sacrifice performance for sustainability benefits in their Home Care products. We strive to deliver a broad portfolio of sustainable home care cleaning ingredients to address both performance and sustainability needs.
Our family of EcoSense™ HC Sophorolipid Surfactants helps you deliver on your brand promise. These sophorolipid biosurfactants from Dow offer unique performance benefits such as:
Bio-derived origin, enabling brand owners to reduce carbon footprint and increase naturality of their products.
Availabile in blendable grades, offering the widest range of acid/lactone ratio which can be used to optimize formulation performance.
Low use levels give improved or similar performance in dishwashing compared to higher use levels of traditional surfactants.
