In China’s personal care, home care, and detergent raw material sector, 6501 usually refers to Cocamide DEA, also commonly called CDEA or coconut fatty acid diethanolamide. In terms of ingredient classification, it is a nonionic surfactant. It is commonly used in cleaning products such as ...
Xanthan gum is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide obtained through fermentation by microorganisms of the genus Xanthomonas. In personal care formulations, it is mainly used as a thickener, suspension stabilizer, auxiliary emulsion stabilizer, and rheology modifier. The value of xanthan gum ...
In household and personal-care cleaning products, “degreasing” does not simply mean dissolving oily soils. Instead, surfactants change the interfacial relationships among oil, water, and the surface being cleaned. As a result, oily soils originally attached to the surface can be wetted, ...
In the ingredient lists of personal care and daily chemical products, propylene glycol, glycerol, and isopropyl alcohol all contain the word “alcohol” or belong to alcohol-type compounds, but their roles in formulations are not the same. Glycerol, also known as glycerin, is commonly used for ...
The soils encountered by cleaning products are not all the same. Water-soluble stains, limescale, greasy soils, adhesive residues, resins, and waxy residues require different solvents and formulation systems. To determine whether a naturally derived solvent is suitable for a cleaning product, ...
Triethanolamine, abbreviated as TEA, and diethanolamine, abbreviated as DEA, both belong to the ethanolamine family of compounds. Their molecules contain both amine groups and hydroxyethyl structures, giving them a certain degree of hydrophilicity, alkalinity, and salt-forming ability.
In water-based household and industrial cleaning formulations such as dishwashing liquids, hard-surface cleaners, laundry detergents, and concentrated cleaners, formulators often encounter issues that may appear different on the surface but are closely related in nature.
In bioanalysis, confirming the presence of a target molecule is only one part of the detection process. The more critical question is: when an antigen binds to an antibody, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) undergoes hybridization, an enzymatic reaction produces a detectable product, or a protein ...
In household and daily-use cleaning products, the industry term “butyl ether” usually refers to a class of glycol ether solvents containing a butoxy structure. These solvents are commonly used in kitchen cleaners, bathroom cleaners, hard-surface cleaners, glass cleaners and floor cleaners. ...
