HIGHLIGHT TOPICS

Glycolipid Biosurfactants

Evonik’s biosurfactants make a clean sweep – literally. They not only remove grease and dirt but are also eco-friendly and gentle on the skin. They are 100 percent biodegradable and therefore enable circular economy. They come with the lowest aquatic toxic profile available on the surfactant market and are safe for oceanic life.

Malodor Removal

Consumers expect cleaning products that not only work, but also support wellbeing and deliver a reassuring “smell of clean” - free from lingering odors or unpleasant smells. Evonik’s TEGO Sorb® portfolio helps formulators meet these expectations with zinc ricinoleate–based technology that captures and permanently eliminates odor molecules. Our solutions are readily biodegradable, easy to use across a wide pH range, and fully compatible with fragrance systems.

Car Rinse Solutions

Evonik offers a comprehensive portfolio of high‑performance ingredients designed to deliver fast drying, spot‑free finishes, high gloss, and long‑term surface protection in automatic and manual car wash systems. Our car rinse system solution brings together esterquats, hydrophobic oils, formulation aids, and effect additives to create highly stable, easy‑to‑formulate microemulsions that perform consistently under all wash conditions.

Specialty Surfactants

Evonik’s specialty surfactants deliver the performance, formulation flexibility, and sustainability today’s cleaning markets demand. Our broad portfolio supports next‑generation household, institutional, and industrial cleaning solutions — helping formulators replace solvents, boost degreasing power, improve environmental profiles, and meet evolving regulatory expectations.
