Auto Dishwashing: 
Reduce Filming with a bio-based solution


Filming & Spotting Challenges

In auto-dishwashing (ADW) formulations, filming and spotting are persistent problems – especially in hard water regions. Today's synthetic polymers used to control filming and spotting are based on petroleum. Sustainable dish washer detergents require bio-based and bio-circular anti-filming polymers with a low carbon footprint. 

A Bio-Based Anti-Filming Solution

LignoBrite is a bio-based1 dispersant engineered to improve rinse performance in automatic dishwashing detergents. It prevents filming by suspending minerals and soils during the wash cycle, reducing redeposition onto dishes. Compatible with enzymes, bleach systems, and pH builders, it can replace synthetic anti-filming polymers such as polyacrylates. 

LignoBrite is documented sustainable through available LCA and EPD data. 

Anti-Filming Performance Data

Internal testing, following ASTM methods to measure dishwasher film, shows reduction in visible film on glass, plastic and metal surfaces in carbonate-citrate ADW formulations, with results comparable to leading synthetic alternatives.
