Synopsis

Modern detergents require ingredients that enhance cleaning efficiency while considering skin equilibrium and reducing environmental impact. Producers of detergents are seeking for raw materials with higher washing performance to reduce chemical usage, packaging, water consumption, and pollution. In detergents such as dishwashing liquids there is a need for high washing effi ciency, foaming properties, viscosity, skin compatibility, low environmental impact, and cost-effectiveness. Putting together all such requirements is the fi nal goal of each formulator. Manual dishwashing liquid detergents, are mainly based on ‘primary surfactants’ like LABS and SLES, along with secondary surfactants or co-surfactants. However, secondary surfactants can have confl icting effects on desired characteristics. The aim of this article is to draw the attention to a new anionic primary multifunctional surfactant, that addresses multiple issues for formulators.
