Highlight Industrial & Institutional Laundry Solutions by Application
Commercial & On-Premise Laundry (OPL)
- Main wash detergency: Nonionic ethoxylates deliver rapid wetting and strong emulsification for oily/particulate soils, at low use levels and broad temperatures.
- Low to very low foam coupling agents provide electrolyte stability, and extra detergency in high caustic or acidic systems - ideal for tunnel washers and high throughput OPL lines.
- Our robust nonionic emulsifiers are compatible with anionic and cationic systems - supporting stable, high activity concentrates.
- Softening, antistatic & finishing: Our products provide cationic surface activity for fabric care; enable hydrophilic softening and rewet properties for towels and workwear.
- Foam management & process stability: Our antifoams (siloxane and silicone free options) provide persistent knockdown/hold-down in alkaline cleaners and wash liquors, maintaining washer efficiency and avoiding level sensor trips.
- Odor control & hygiene impression: Our malodor absorbers tie up aldehydes, sulfur and amine based odors - suited to textile refreshers, laundry liquids, and I&I settings.
PreSpot, Degreasing & Solvent Replacement
- We provide efficient nonionic systems designed to replace oxygenated solvents while maintaining or boosting soil removal; readily biodegradable and Safer Choice-listed via CleanGredients®.
- Our heavy-duty degreasing blends with nonionic/cationic synergy work are effective against tough organic soils on textiles and ancillaries.
Fabric Softening & Antistatic (Laundry Rinse & Finishing)
- Our highly active conditioning agents impart a soft, hydrophilic handle with rewet - valuable for towels/medical linens; water dispersible and amenable to high active dispersions.
- These conditioning quats act as efficient antistats on synthetic blends at low addon rates.
- Our debonders/softeners support bulk/softness on cellulose rich textiles where process design allows.
Mild Foaming & Amphoterics (Specialty Formats)
- Our betaines extend foam stability and mildness for carpet foams or textile refreshers; powder/liquid options enable flexible manufacturing.
Detergents & Cleaning Agents
- REWOFERM® biosurfactants for deep cleaning with excellent biodegradability and skin compatibility.
- Nonionic surfactants for effective soil removal and low-foam systems, ideal for heavy-duty laundry.
- AEROSIL® – Fumed silica for convenient pourability of liquid detergents.
- SIPERNAT® – Specialty silica as carriers for surfactants, perfume oils, and enzymes.
- PERACLEAN®: Peracetic-acid based solutions for disinfection and hygiene across a wide range of cleaning applications
Fabric Softeners & Conditioners
