Raw materials for chemical cleaning agents: surfactants, complexing agents, additives

Our product portfolio for laundry and cleaning products

Detergents and cleaning agents must clean effectively, be gentle on the skin, and be cost-effective to manufacture. Surfactants, complexing agents, solvents, and functional additives determine how well your products clean and how stable they are during processing.

We help cleaning product manufacturers select chemical raw materials that balance cleaning performance, environmental compatibility, and processability. Whether it’s laundry detergents for home use, industrial cleaners, or specialty products for sensitive areas: We ensure reliable availability for both regular and ad-hoc needs.

Typical applications for our raw materials

  • Surfactants for cleaning and washing action in laundry detergents, dishwashing detergents, and all-purpose cleaners
  • Complexing agents and builders for water softening in laundry detergents and dishwashing liquids
  • Solvents for grease and dirt removal in kitchen, industrial, automotive, and specialty cleaners
  • Preservatives, stabilizers, and additives for fragrance, viscosity, and safe, long-lasting products
  • Specialty raw materials for eco-friendly formulations as well as sensitive areas such as food, dairy, hygiene, and disinfection
