VAN GEL® O Magnesium Aluminum Silicate is designed to be used with strong oxidizing agents. It is used in alkaline cleaners with hypochlorite to provide suspension stability, thickening and vertical surface cling. VAN GEL O is a highly purified smectite clay suspension stabilizer, emulsion optimizer and rheology modifier. This smectite clay is synergistic with common thickeners such as VANZAN® xanthan gum and CMC. These combinations will provide greater thickening, stabilizing and suspending properties than those developed by the individual components of the mixture.

VANZAN® D Xanthan Gum is a surface-treated grade of xanthan gum that provides easy dispersion with rapid viscosity development, without the formation of lumps or “fish eyes”. VANZAN D is surface-treated to make it temporarily insoluble. This facilitates dispersion and prevents the gum from dissolving until the surface treatment is removed by raising the pH of the system to 9 or greater. It is particularly convenient for systems where the final pH is alkaline. The rheology of VANZAN D solutions is remarkably stable over a broad temperature range and will not change significantly between ambient temperature and 60°C. Additionally, VANZAN D has excellent freeze/thaw stability.

VAN GEL® ES Magnesium Aluminum Silicate provides maximum electrolyte stability, and optimum pH stability in acidic compositions. VAN GEL ES is a highly purified smectite clay suspension stabilizer, emulsion optimizer and rheology modifier. This smectite clay is synergistic with common thickeners such as VANZAN® xanthan gum and CMC. These combinations will provide greater thickening, stabilizing and suspending properties than those developed by the individual components of the mixture.

VANZAN® Xanthan Gum is a general purpose xanthan gum grade suitable for coatings and constructions applications. The rheology of VANZAN solutions is remarkably stable over a broad temperature range and will not change significantly between ambient temperature and 60°C. Additionally, VANZAN has excellent freeze/thaw stability.

Cola®Teric AV is an alkyl betaine that effectively thickens HCl as well as mixtures of HCl and other mineral acids. As a surfactant, Cola®Teric AV also provides wetting and detergency properties in acid formulations. Due to its viscosity building efficiency, ease of formulation and long-term stability in mineral acids, Cola®Teric AV is ideal for use in acid bowl cleaners, dairy cleaners and a variety of applications where viscous acid solutions are required. For easiest results, add the ColaTeric AV to the water and then add the acid.

Cola®Teric MSC is a low foaming, biodegradable, amphoteric surfactant with excellent detergency, designed for use in either low or high temperature alkaline and acid cleaners. While some foaming occurs in both alkaline and acid cleaners when used in spray tanks, it is fast breaking and does not accumulate. This property can also prove advantageous when formulating "scrub-vac" cleaners such as those used on indoor-outdoor carpeting or hard surfaces. Cola®Teric MSC is an anhydrous, 100% active, liquid material that is ideally suited for use in dry products containing high percentages of caustic, such as heavy duty all-purpose industrial cleaners. In contrast to low foaming nonionic surfactants, Cola®Teric MSC exhibits low foaming properties even at low temperatures while still maintaining good detergent properties. In addition, it has been determined that up to equal parts of nonionics can be combined with ColaTeric MSC without losing these foaming properties. While ColaTeric MSC can be incorporated directly into aqueous alkaline systems, it neutralizes slowly and may take hours to achieve pH equilibrium. Cola®Teric MSC is readily soluble in aqueous acid systems.

Suga®Nate 100NC is a surfactant based on the renewable resources of corn and coconut. It is extremely mild when tested against other traditional primary personal cleansing surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium coco sulfate, sodium lauryl ether sulfate and alpha olefin sulfonate. This product is recommended for shampoos, bath gels, body washes, facial cleansers, makeup removers, baby products, and bath foams.

DeIONIC C-18 is a 100% active, high melting point (58°C), mixed chain length alcohol ethoxylate suggested for use in solid or block formulations, water-based lubricants, and dry blended detergents.

DeTERGE AT-100 Acid Thickener is a versatile solution for both industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning and home care applications. Ideal for acid cleaners, including those used in aircraft, and alkaline cleaners for home care, it stands out in various formulations. Applicable processes such as acid pickling and electroplating benefit from its efficiency.

DePHOS RA-60 Phosphate Ester is a highly versatile solution for both industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning and home care applications. It excels in formulations such as aircraft cleaners, alkaline cleaners, and bathroom cleaners. With features including corrosion resistance and superior metal surface protection, it is equally effective in metal cleaners and metalworking fluids.

DeMOX CSG-30ECO is a readily biodegradable modified amine oxide used to produce clear, stable, colorless sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide gels. Applications include fabric pre-spotter gels, toilet bowl cleaners, vertical surface bleach-based cleaners with cling, food plant sanitizers, and sanitizing formulations.

MIRAPOL® SURF S 900 is a high performance surface protection polymer for use in acidic formulations such as toilet cleaners to provide soil and scale prevention and to prevent soil deposition for a longer lasting clean effect and an easier cleaning. It is compatible with EU Ecolabel for detergents and prevents limescale encrustation.

BURCOXIDE® LO by Burlington Chemical Co is comprised of Lauramine Oxide and Dodecyldimethylamine oxide. It is commonly used It is a APE-free Key benefits in use include: Consistency, Foam enhancement, Foam quality and Formula stability.

BURCOQUAT® TS-20 is a diethyl sulfate quat that exhibits excellent solubility and compatibility in acid and alkaline formulations including anionic surfactants.

BURCOQUAT® TS-15 is a diethyl sulfate quat that produces dense, stable foam and provides corrosion inhibition in muriatic, hydrofluoric, and sulfuric acids on mild steel (not suitable for use with nitric acid).

Burco® THIX CB-1000 is a clear to slightly hazy, viscous light yellow liquid thickener/surfactant for hypochlorite solution. It provides thickening and detergency to formulations containing sodium hypochlorite bleach.

Burco® ART is a safer acid for industrial and commercial applications. It has low odor, light color, and is non-corrosive to skin. Typical applications of this product include all purpose cleaners, tub and tile cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners, scale removes, rust stain removers, and transportation cleaners.
