Nowadays, several formulations, especially those used in high effort applications requiring fat removal and/or cleaning, are commonly composed of solvents that facilitates cleaning without compromising the integrity of the surface. Also, the process of developing these formulations also incorporates the safety of the end consumer, ease of use, reduction of time spent during use, and environmental impact reduction. Therefore, there are an increasing interest in research and tests that proven the solvents present in the formulations provide benefits in terms of effectiveness and safety, even when used in reduced quantities. Indorama Ventures' solvents play a crucial role providing flexibility in product formulation in the Home Care market because their physicochemical properties and high versatility granting formulators to manufacture more innovative products. ULTRASOLVE® H line demonstrates superior performance when compared to solvents available in the market for various aspects, such as low toxicity, high performance, water solubility capacity, very low odour, as well as safety for consumers and surfaces, allowing effectiveness and performance even in neutral pH formulations.

Probiotics, also known as “friendly” microorganisms, are a new and differentiated biotechnology that can be used in household cleaning products with exceptional benefits. Due to their unique cleaning benefits, probiotics are a perfect fit for home care products, ranging from surface cleaners, dish soap, and even laundry detergent. Probiotics have multiple performance advantages compared to standard chemical cleaning products, such as microscopic cleaning in hard-to-reach spaces, long-lasting cleaning for multiple days, delivering long-lasting hygiene benefits through the prevention of growth of bacteria, fungi, etc. and more.  Probiotics favour the use of natural chemistry rather than synthetic one and they are 100% natural. This disruptive technology will be essential for the future of cleaning and is an important area of innovation for our sector towards a sustainable future with safe products for humans and the environment.

Pilot Chemical Company started in 1952 with an innovative way of making surfactants through a patented process known as Ice-Cold Sulfonation. The company’s innovative and entrepreneurial culture has continued into the 21st century through investing in and investigating other surfactant chemistries and technologies. In 2020, Pilot Chemical introduced a super-concentrated surfactant product line, Aspire®, to the marketplace consisting of an efficient, innovative blend of anionic, nonionic, and cationic surfactants that is greater than 97% active liquid. These products are cold-processable, low- viscosity, free-flowing liquids with a low freeze point for easy handling and storage. The super-concentrated formula has exceptional detergency performance and can be used to develop laundry unit dose packs, liquid-laundry detergents and hard-surface cleaners. In 2022, Pilot Chemical introduced its first two biobased surfactants – CalNext™ 126 and 196 – to the marketplace. These new biobased surfactants were designed for HI&I applications to meet our customers’ needs of sustainability, high performance, and production scalability. CalNext™ 126 and 196 biobased surfactants are produced via a patent-pending chemical batch process, instead of through fermentation. This novel production process means CalNext™ 126 and 196 can easily meet customer volume needs. Even better, both biobased surfactants are derived from renewable, non-food, biomass feedstocks, so they can be produced without causing a burden to the raw material source. Based on customer feedback, Pilot Chemical will be introducing CalNext™ 190C and 196C to further improve upon the formulation experience to allow a broader pH range, product clarity, and stability. Pilot Chemical’s presentation at the CPLA conference will first showcase the cleaning performance data for the Aspire® and CalNext™ product lines, along with the sustainability and scalability characteristics of our biobased surfactants. The performance data will include All-Purpose Cleaners; Bathroom Cleaners; and Laundry, Dish, and Glass Cleaners as compared to leading brands.
