Enabling high-performing liquid laundry detergent formulations

When it comes to liquid laundry products, consumers value multifunctional detergents that keep laundry bright, fresh and clean while minimizing environmental impact with bio-based ingredients that perform well at lower temperatures.

Dow offers high-performing additives and solutions including polymers, antifoams, amines and surfactants to help brand owners develop high performing products that consumers can count on. Dow enables brand owners to develop differentiated products with dynamic ingredients for a wide range of household appliances.

Boost cleaning power

To provide superior cleaning in liquid laundry products, Dow offers innovative, biodegradable surfactants such as TERGITOL™ 15-S-9 Surfactant that are especially effective at removing greasy, fatty soils and sebum.

Control foam

To address excessive foaming and potential machine malfunction, especially in high-efficiency appliances, Dow offers effective solutions such as DOWSIL™ AF-8017 Antifoam to control foam and enhance cleaning. 

Offer whitening and brightening

To help keep white fabrics whiter and brighter after multiple washes, Dow has developed ACUSOL™ 460NK and ACUSOL™ 845 Dispersant Polymers that provide excellent anti-greying performance.

Save energy

To meet the need of washing in lower temperatures to help reduce energy and environmental impact, Dow offers specialty non-ionic surfactants such as TERGITOL™ 15-S-9 Surfactant and TERGITOL™ 15-S-7 Surfactant to help achieve this goal.

Achieve texture and suspension

To enable clear formulations with the right texture and suspension of actives and visual cues, Dow has developed innovative rheology modifiers including ACUSOL™ 820, ACUSOL™ 823 Rheology Modifiers, which offer excellent performance across a broad pH range.
