Résumé : |
Environmental awareness among European consumers is steadily growing and plays an increasing role in their purchasing decisions. Nevertheless, the most important criteria are still performance and case of use. Even "green" products have to achieve at least average market quality to obtain customer acceptance. The range of commercially available high-performance and environmentally friendly surfactants is however rather limited. The invention of fatty acid N-methylglucamides sets here a milestone for a new generation of environmental friendly sugar surfactants. They set themselves apart from other typically used surfactants, e.g. fatty alcohol ethoxylates, through an extraordinarily positive ecotoxicological profile, whilst maintaining or even improving upon performance.
Short-chain GlucoPure Wet for example, has a very strong wetting power, which expresses itself in outstanding soap scum removal when used in the sanitary sector. This combination of high-performance and environmentally friendliness makes this sugar surfactant therefore an ideal candidate to formulate a green bathroom cleaner without compromising on performance and convenience, thus preventing disappointments on the customer's side. |
