Formulating with alkalis, builders and chelating agents
Alkalis break down fats, protein and carbon soils. Builders and chelating agents bind hardness minerals so surfactants work properly in hard water and scale does not form.
Grade advice
Tell us the application and the finished product this is going into. We will confirm the grade is compatible, stable and cost-effective in your formulation, and advise on alternatives where they would perform better.
