Detergent & Cleaning Sorbents
Sorbents & Additives for Detergents and Cleaning Products
High-performance sorbents and mineral additives play a key role in detergent and cleaning formulations - supporting moisture control, viscosity management, and active ingredient delivery. Our materials help formulators achieve consistent flow, stable performance, and cleaner end products across household, institutional, and industrial cleaning applications.
Functional Roles
-
Moisture regulation: Desiccant minerals prevent clumping and extend shelf life in powders and pods.
-
Active carrier: Porous sorbents disperse surfactants, enzymes, and fragrances evenly through the mix.
-
Viscosity control: Clay and silica additives stabilize liquid detergents and cleaning gels.
-
Flow and dispersion: Prevents segregation of actives in powder blends and automated filling lines.
Common Applications
-
Household detergents: Powdered laundry, dishwasher tabs, and cleaning concentrates.
-
Industrial & institutional cleaners: Degreasers, disinfectant powders, and floor care formulations.
-
Liquid systems: Stabilizing sorbents improve suspension and long-term storage stability.
-
Odor & color management: Activated minerals reduce unwanted volatiles and discoloration in formulations.
Example Application
A detergent manufacturer incorporated a synthetic silica carrier to improve enzyme stability and powder flow in a high-activity laundry detergent. The addition reduced caking during storage and maintained enzyme activity over multiple production cycles, ensuring consistent wash performance.
