Ingredients
BASF
Sokalan HP 96 is an ethoxylated, quaternated
and transsulfated hexamethylene
diamine. When formulated with an
amphoteric modified starch polymer, it has
applications in hard surface cleaners.
Bionetix International
HYGIEA2400 is a spore blend concentrate
to formulate products with enhanced
cleaning power and odor control. It
contains “good” bacteria that biodegrade
specific compounds such as grease, fats, oils,
starches, proteins and cellulose. Microorganisms
in HYGIEA2400 effectively use these
substances for food, leaving behind simple
carbon dioxide and water as non-hazardous
byproducts. It can be used to formulate a
wide array of products used for carpet and
fabric care (e.g., odor and stain removal
of milk, vomit, urine, feces, blood, coffee,
wine, etc.), bathroom maintenance (surface
cleaning and odor control) and odor control
in garbage pails, etc.

Endinol SLS-LC is a low cloud point version
of sodium lauryl sulfate with high flash
foam volume and detergency. It has better
storage stability than traditional sodium
lauryl sulfate. Applications include hard
surface cleaners and carpet cleaners.
Endiquest GLDA is a tetrasodium
glutamate diacetate—a biodegradable chelate
with high solubility in aqueous systems. Its
effectiveness as a builder and soap scum and
scale remover makes Endiquest GLDA a
multifunctional additive for both heavy and
light duty hard surface cleaners. Applications
also include disinfectants.
Endinol B-DLM is a fully formulated
diethanolamine (DEA)-free surfactant blend
optimized for maximum cleaning and foaming
performance and for easy dilution into
a variety of household cleansing products,
such as foaming hard surface cleaners.
Colonial Chemical
ColaTeric CDS8 is an extremely low-foaming
amphoteric surfactant, derived from
predominately natural sources. Attributes
include enhanced low-foam hydrotrope with
good hydrotroping efficiency; free of Prop
65 components such as 1,4-dioxane, dichloroacetic
acid and DEA; stable in a wide pH
range and high electrolyte solution; stable
in up to 30% sodium hydroxide; has good
wetting agent in extreme conditions and
compatibility with all surfactant classes.
Household and industrial applications
include carpet and floor cleaning and low
foam spray cleaning.
Cosun Biobased Products
Quatin cationic inulin is a quaternary functionalized
inulin polymer, or hydroxypropyl
trimonium inulin. Quatin is a biodegradable
cationic biopolymer with applications
in hard surface cleaners and fabric care.
Carboxyline CMI is a carboxymethyl inulin.
It is mild, highly compatible and synergistic
with the various polymers and chelating
agents. Applications include fabric care,
surface cleaners and carpet cleaners.
Croda
Zinador 22L is a 100% bio-based odor
neutralizer that has proven to be effective
against a broad range of household and
industrial odors. It requires no emulsifiers
or chelators to formulate, making it costeffective
and easy-to-use, according to the
company.
ModiSurf Lift is a substantive additive
that increases the hydrophilicity of hard
surfaces, making soils easier to remove and
providing a protective surface layer against
future soils. It is effective against most
common household soils and across a range
of surface substrates in acidic, neutral and
alkaline cleaning formulations. By adding
ModiSurf Lift to a household cleaner, consumers
will be able to clean more quickly
and with minimal effort, said Croda.
Crodastat 400 is a new performance
additive formulated for use in hard surface
cleaners to impart an antistatic effect to a
surface after the clean. The product works
by modifying the cleaned surface so that it
has the ability to dissipate charge, preventing
static build-up and thus helping prevent
the attraction of dust and other charged
particles back to the surface, leading to a
longer lasting and more effective clean.
Innospec Performance Chemicals
Empicol EAC 70 is an ammonium laureth-3
sulfate. A primary anionic surfactant, it is
used foremost as a cleaning and emulsifying
agent. It is hard water tolerant and leaves

minimal residue on surfaces. Applications
include surface care, toilet care, laundry care
and car care.
Empigen BS/O is a cocamidopropyl
betaine with applications in hard surface
cleaners. It a coconut oil-derived, mild amphoteric
surfactant used for gentle cleansing
and foaming. When combined with anionic
surfactants, it contributes to enhanced
viscosity building and foam boosting in a
finished formula. In addition, it is often
used to mitigate the irritation to skin that
can be caused by harsher ingredients when
they are used alone.
Empicol LZV/N/MB is a sodium lauryl
sulfate with applications in surface care,
toilet care, laundry care and car care. It is
Mass Balance RSPO Certified and naturally
derived from plant-based materials. This primary
anionic surfactant has enhanced foaming
and detergency properties, especially in
soft water, and is also commonly used for its
good emulsifying properties.
Lubrizol Life Science
Novethix HC220 polymer is a naturallyderived,
methyl glucose ether, esterified
with oleic acid. It shows broad compatibility
and clarity with many types of surfactants,
including cationics, and is therefore suitable
for thickening household disinfectant cleaners
containing cationic biocides. Spray
