Fabric care
Fabric softeners contain active ingredients, mostly cationic surfactants, which provide a soft feel. Our natural clay-based thickeners are the most compatible fit to provide the desired viscosity, and additional fabric softening. The RHEOCLEAN® HI range is ideal for stabilising particles, oils or fragrances, and recommended for thickening and structuring of fabric washing liquid formats.
Dishwashing
For hand-dishwashing products consumers expect high efficacy, which can be harsh on skin – therefore formulators try to use mild detergents where achieving good viscosity is challenging. Our clay-based rheology modifiers are mild to skin and provide the right viscosity and flow properties, additionally enabling natural, eco-friendly formulations. For automatic dishwashing, we offer natural binders for tablets and defoaming ingredients.
Surface cleaning
To clean and protect surfaces effectively, we offer high-quality wax additives, defoamers and surface additives. With our rheological additives, we support the consumer-desired viscosity and flow behavior of cleaning and care products. Create products to clean, protect, including delicate surfaces etc.
Vehicle care
For vehicle care, we offer various additives for washing, cleaning, and protection. Our products support various application areas, ranging from viscosity adjustment for liquids and for spray properties, drip control, surface protection for car polishes, foam control for automatic washing stations, and many more. With extensive expertise in aerosols, we will support you in creating spray products for car interior.
Pet care
Our portfolio addresses the unique needs of our four-legged friends, focussing on bio-based ingredients enabling mild formulations, for gentle cleansing and fur conditioning. We help our customers to control the rheology of mild surfactant-based formulations to achieve great spreadability and sensory profile. Moreover, we offer solutions for odor control especially appreciated by cat lovers, as well as odor neutralises for car care, if your pet is a passionate traveller!
Industrial & institutional cleaning
Professional industries require professional cleaning solutions. You can count on Elementis to help you with the heaviest-duty cleaning of industrial kitchens with rheology modifiers for scrub particle stabilisation, drip control for oven cleaners, but also for carpet or hard surface cleaners.
