Defoamers
Zschimmer & Schwarz
Defoamers from the CONTRASPUM range for cleaning processes where foam is critical. The table shows the chemical basis of each product along with its suitability for home care, industrial and institutional cleaning (I & I) and car care.
View detailsEmulsifiers
Zschimmer & Schwarz
Emulsifiers from the MULSIFAN range based on fatty alcohol and fatty acid polyglycol ethers as well as combinations of anionic and nonionic surfactants. Suitability for home care, I & I and car care is indicated for every product.
View detailsFatty Alcohol Ethoxylates
Zschimmer & Schwarz
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates from the OXETAL and PROPETAL ranges with varying degrees of ethoxylation. The EO degree allows wetting behaviour, solubility and foam profile to be adjusted deliberately.
View detailsPhosphoric Acid Esters
Zschimmer & Schwarz
Phosphoric acid esters from the PHOSFETAL range, available in acid form and as the potassium salt. They serve as wetting agents and emulsifiers, particularly in alkaline cleaning formulations.
View detailsSoaps
Zschimmer & Schwarz
Coconut-based potassium soaps for cleaning and care formulations. They provide foam, support soil removal and combine well with other surfactant systems.
View detailsSolubilizing Agent
Zschimmer & Schwarz
Turkey red oil (sodium sulforicinoleate) as a classic solubilizer for oils and fragrances in aqueous systems. The table indicates suitability for home care, I & I and car care.
View detailsSurface Protection
Gelita AG
NOVOTEC® CB800, based on a gelatine hydrolysate, for surface protection. It is used in cleaning and care formulations where a film on the treated surface is desired.
View detailsSurfactants – Amino Acid-based
Zschimmer & Schwarz
Amino acid-based surfactants from the PROTELAN range — sarcosinates as well as glutamates with hydrolysed wheat protein. They combine cleaning performance with a mild profile and suit skin-friendly cleansers.
View detailsSurfactants – Amphoteric
Zschimmer & Schwarz
Amphoteric surfactants from the AMPHOTENSID and AUTOPOON ranges, predominantly betaine-based. They are used as co-surfactants to improve foam, viscosity and skin compatibility and work across a wide pH range.
View detailsSurfactants – Anionic
Zschimmer & Schwarz
Anionic surfactants from the SULFETAL, ZETESOL and SETACIN ranges — ether and alkyl sulfates, sulfosuccinates and wetting agents. Each product is listed with its chemical basis, RSPO availability and suitability for home care, I & I and car care.
View detailsSurfactants – Enhanced Environmental Profile
Zschimmer & Schwarz
Surfactants from the ZETESECO range with an enhanced environmental profile, largely based on cocoyl glutamate and fatty alcohol polyalkylene glycol ether. They suit formulations with requirements on raw material origin and degradability.
View detailsSurfactants – Nonionic
Zschimmer & Schwarz
Nonionic surfactants from the PURTON, TREOSAL and ZUSOLAT ranges — fatty acid diethanolamides and esters. They stabilise foam, add viscosity and are typically combined with anionic surfactants.
View detailsSurfactants – Synergistic Blends
Zschimmer & Schwarz
Ready-made surfactant blends from the LUMOROL range, in which anionic and nonionic surfactants — in some cases with a soap component — are already matched to each other. They shorten formulation work for cleaners with a defined foam and cleaning profile.
View detailsWax Emulsion
Zschimmer & Schwarz
WAXEMULSION 1864, a nonionic carnauba wax emulsion for care and gloss formulations. Typical fields of use are car care and hard surface care.
