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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
To meet consumer desire for multifunctional and efficient two-in-one liquid laundry products, Dow has developed high-performing polymers including SupraCare™ 260 Additive and SupraCare™ 133 Polymer, which provide excellent cleaning, softening, fragrance and compatibility with other ingredients.
Making laundry easier and more convenient
With modern-day time constraints, consumers value products that make laundry fast and easy. Innovative monodose laundry packets, or sometimes referred to as laundry pods, help meet these demands while enabling fresher, whiter and brighter clothing and fabrics. Monodose products also contribute to sustainability with reduced transportation costs, less water use, and greater efficiency.
Dow offers a number of technologies and solutions including surfactants, dispersants, chelants, polymers, antifoams, additives and glycols that help boost the effectiveness and sustainability of monodose laundry products.
To provide superior cleaning in monodose formulations, Dow has developed TERGITOL™ 15-S-9 Surfactant, which is especially effective at removing greasy, fatty soils – even in low-temperature wash conditions.
To replace larger amounts of traditional surfactants, enabling efficiency and sustainability, Dow offers bio-based ingredients such as Sophorolipid EcoSense™ HC-2100 Surfactant.
To help keep white fabrics whiter and brighter after multiple washes, Dow has developed ACUSOL™ 845 Dispersant Polymer to enable greater anti-greying performance.
To help manage excessive foaming which can lead to machine malfunctioning, especially in high-efficiency appliances, Dow offers effective solutions such as DOWSIL™ AF-8017 Antifoam to control foam in main wash cycles.
To increase the feel and care of fabrics in monodose formulations, Dow has developed SupraCare™ 133 and SupraCare™ 240 Polymers that offer an improved sensorial profile and softening – while reducing dye transfer so fabrics look better longer.
To provide more effective solubilization and greater stability in monodose laundry formulations, Dow offers versatile ingredients like Dipropylene glycol (DPG) and DOWANOL™ DPM Glycol Ether.
To help achieve the correct pH and desired cleaning results with transparent formulations and product stability, Dow offers amines such as triethanolamine and monoethanolamine.
