Soltellus™ Polymer by Lygos offers formulators a biodegradable and effective substitute ready to meet this demand for a variety of home and personal care applications.
Sodium Carboxymethyl Inulin vs. Soltellus Polymer
Sodium carboxymethyl inulin is an anionic biopolymer formed by incorporation of carboxymethyl groups on an inulin backbone, which is a natural polysaccharide found in plants. It provides scale prevention, mild sequestration, and dispersing properties to function as a performance-boosting ingredient in detergents and hard surface cleaners.
Soltellus by Lygos, derived from aspartic acid, is a biodegradable, water-soluble anionic polyaspartate polymer. It performs in cold and hard water and offers dispersing, ion sequestering, anti-scaling, and enzyme boosting properties, among several others, as a multifunctional ingredient across a wide range of home care and personal care industry applications.
The Future of Sustainable Formulations
As more consumers prioritize eco-friendly products, the demand for biodegradable ingredients will continue to grow. By incorporating polymers like Soltellus into your products, you’ll not only contribute to a more sustainable future, but also improve the overall performance of traditional formulations.
Now is the perfect time to explore Soltellus as a reliable alternative.
High-Performing: Soltellus enhances the performance of your home care products by improving the performance of your surfactants and enzymes as well as preventing the deposition of minerals on your soft or hard surfaces as well as in the washing machine.
Biodegradable: Soltellus breaks down naturally, reducing the environmental impact and overall footprint of products and brands.
Versatile: Soltellus is ideal for use in auto dish, laundry detergents, and surface cleaners.
In-Demand: Soltellus supports the growing consumer demand for sustainable products that align with their personal values.
In home care, Soltellus can be used to replace persistent chemicals and improve the soil- and stain-fighting power of laundry detergents, the anti-spotting and anti-film properties of auto dish detergents, and the grime, soap, and limescale removal capabilities in cleaners.
Why Soltellus is the Ideal Replacement
Soltellus is a proven, multifunctional, biodegradable ingredient transforming traditional formulations into better, cleaner, and more cost-effective products.
Embrace Soltellus and lead the way in creating highly effective and environmentally responsible products using high-performing, sustainable ingredients.
