Surfactants, also known as surface-active agents, are specialized materials that greatly enhance the cleaning capacity of cleaning applications. They enable cleaning solutions to penetrate and dislodge dirt, oil, and stains that would otherwise resist removal.
ingredients that enhance cleaning performance
Household surfaces are often subjected to a diverse range of challenges, from sticky countertops to mud and dirt covered floors. Surfactants excel in these scenarios by breaking down substances at the molecular level. By reducing the surface tension of liquids, they enable cleaning solutions to penetrate and dislodge dirt, oil, and grease that would otherwise resist removal.
Our Sucranov™ Sugar-based Surfactants are naturally sugar-derived, mild non-ionic surfactants. They offer natural, gentle cleansing and are ideal for a wide variety of cleaning applications. They generate an exceptional amount of foam for a non-ionic surfactant, comparable with conventional anionic surfactants. Our Sucranov Surfactants offer gentle and highly effective cleansing and deep hydration, while providing high, stable foam production. Some of our Sucranov Sugar-based Surfactants can be found on the TSCA Active Listing, are SaferChoice approved products, and can be labeled as Clean Ingredients.

go streak-free with a vinegar boost
personal & home care multi-surface cleaner Multi-surface cleaners are useful disinfectants that work on a wide range of surfaces. Adding a vinegar booster to your surface cleaners adds versatility as it can cut through dirt and films on most surfaces, due to its acidic composition. Jarace™ SA-VB+ is a Sodium Diacetate-based, ammonia-free option that can be used in the kitchen, bathroom, and on car surfaces. It is also approved for use around children and animals. While vinegar tends to have a strong aroma, Jarace SA-VB+ is mild in odor and easy to incorporate into any formula.
biodegradable chelating agent
personal & home care stop the scum By default, water contains many minerals including the metal ions of calcium, iron, and magnesium. Anyone who has used hard water understands the challenge these metal ions create. These metal ions interfere with the effectiveness of soaps and detergents, visually resulting in soap scum. Chelating agents bind to and remove metal ions from solutions. Restraining and removing these metal ions allows for preservatives to preserve longer and surfactants to clean more efficiently. Chelating Agent, Biopure™ GLDA, is a biodegradable and eco-friendly EDTA replacement, making it a great choice for those looking for more sustainable cleaning options. This versatile chelating agent can be used in a wide variety of household, institutional, and industrial cleaning and personal care products.
