Hard surface cleaners
Borregaard’s bio-based rheology additives are robust and can be used in extreme pH formulations and with a wide range of additives and surfactants.
The shear thinning behaviour of cellulose fibrils improves sprayability and spray uniformity of liquid products including strongly acidic formulations. The fast viscosity recovery prolongates the vertical cling of the products.
In hard surface cleaners, our products offer the following benefits:
- Uniform sprayability of strongly acidic, neutral and alkaline products
- Improved vertical cling of liquid formulations and foam
- Prolongated contact time of cleaning products on vertical surfaces
- Improved stability and shelf-life of highly acidic products such as pickling solutions.
- Structuring of cationic, non-ionic and anionic surfactant systems
- Structuring and anti-settling of suspended solids
- Improved compatibility and robustness of formulations with acids, surfactants, oxidising agents, salts, solvents and temperature
- Non-stringy product texture
These benefits are applicable to cleaning products targeting metal, stone, tiles, glass, wood or any other surface.
Our products and solutions
Exilva mfc
Exilva® microfibrillated cellulose (mfc) is a bio-degradable, multifunctional and sustainable additive that can be used as a viscosity modifying agent and stabiliser in household, industrial & institutional cleaners. it enables good rheological control.
More on additives for hard surface cleaners
Can exilva be used with quaternary ammonium compounds?
Quaternary ammonium compounds (qacs) are a group of cationic antimicrobials used widely for numerous industrial and pharmaceutical purposes. they are disinfectant chemicals commonly used in disinfectant wipes, sprays and household cleaners.
How mfc can help thicken your advanced cleaning products
There is a strong need to disinfect and sanitise frequently touched surfaces. exilva microfibrillated cellulose (mfc) is a bio-based structuring agent that can thicken household disinfectant and cleaning products at low to high ph, as well as with oxidising compounds.
