Added Benefits:
Great Performance In Hard Water:
In the USA, over 85% of households have hard water and only 20% of them have water softener which leaves 65% of the households with hard to clean clothes. Thanks to Soltellus️ triple mode of action as an anti-deposition, sequestrant and a dispersant, it will enhance stain removal while caring for your clothes.
Enhances The Cleaning Performance In All Water Hardness:
Surfactants are the workhorse of laundry detergent. When mineral ions bind to anionic surfactants to form insoluble complexes, the surfactant becomes unavailable to clean. Therefore, more detergent is needed to achieve the same performance which is neither ecological, nor economical. Moreover, the insoluble complexes will deposit on fabrics or in the machine and cause build up or stubborn stains. By binding to hard water ions, Soltellus™️ improves the performance in hard water so less detergent is needed.- Product Highlights
Soltellus™ polymer is an anionic, multifunctional polymer produced by the polymerisation of aspartic acid. It’s biodegradable with superior stain fighting properties, which is the #1 attribute consumers seek in their laundry detergent. Soltellus™ is compatible with enzymes and is a highly effective replacement for polyacrylate in laundry detergents

Technical Details & Test Data
- Performance Characteristics
Anti - Redeposition:
Soltellus™ binds soils and keeps them in the wash water preventing their redeposition on fabrics.
Superior Soil Removal:- Enhances stain removal in cold water in all water hardness conditions for
- Enzyme sensitive stains (blood, grass, oatmeal, egg yolk, starch, gum)
- Oily stains
- Particulates
- Iron-containing stains like blood or clay because of its affinity to iron
- Weight efficient: performance of 1% soltellus™️ equivalent to 5% polyacrylate
- In hard water, 5% soltellus™ in a base laundry detergent performs at parity with the leading conventional laundry detergent.
Overall Stain Removal In Soft Water:
Overall Stain Removal In Hard Water:
Testing conditions: Whirlpool, front loader, 16°C, ASTM D4265-14. Tandell Research Ltd
i) 20 common stains, front loader at 16°C, 110 ppm CaCO₃
ii) 20 common stains, front loader at 16°C, 330 ppm CaCO₃- Performance Characteristics - Binding To Calcium Ions In Water
Soltellus™️ binds hard water ions and keeps minerals in solution, limiting the deposition of minerals on fabric leading to residues, dinginess, graying, stiffness and dull color. When using Sotellus™️ your clothes will be softer and look brighter; darks will stay dark and the whites will be whiter.
- Performance Characteristics - Sequestering Capacity
Soltellus™ 2101S;️ Effectively Sequesters Iron And C alcium:
- Enhances the cleaning performance in all water hardness.
- Prevents the formation of hard to remove residues on clothes like sebum stains.
- Prevent dinginess, graying and keeps color vivid by keeping the surfactant active.
- Enhances the removal of iron containing stains like blood and clay.
- Comparable activity to edds on iron and superior to polyacrylate (38%), glda (51%) and sodium citrate (66%)
- Comparable performance to other biodegradable sequestrants on calcium.
Iron Sequestering Capacity:
Calcium Sequestering Capacity:
38% better than Polyacrylate.
51% better than GLDA.
66% better than Sodium Citrate.- Test Data
In the United States, over 85% of households have hard water, which results in scale buildup on faucets and showerheads and hard to remove soap scum in the bath and shower. Soltellus™ 2301S is the ideal solution for bathroom cleaner :
