These recognitions reinforce our ongoing commitment to responsible innovation, people safety, operational efficiency, and reducing environmental impacts across our operations.

Plant-based hydrotropes

What was the challenge?

Hydrotropes are essential ingredients to ensure the stability of cleaning formulations, prevent the separation of components, and maintain effectiveness over time. Recognizing their importance and the potential for advancement in this field, we saw an opportunity to innovate with a plant-based alternative, combining high performance with environmental responsibility, and a focus on well-being.

Our solution

Drawing on decades of expertise in applied chemistry, Indovinya developed SURFONIC® H-1040, an anionic hydrotrope with more than 80% plant-based origin, free of phosphates, aromatics, and BTEX. 

In addition to being biodegradable and safe, it delivers superior performance, requiring only 1/3 to 1/4 of the dosage of SXS to stabilize formulations. Its liquid format makes it easy to handle and reduces energy consumption in the manufacturing process.

Results

  • Three to four times higher hydrotropic performance compared to SXS
  • Up to 66% reduction in carbon footprint, according to LCA (Life Cycle Analysis) studies
  • Versatile application across different categories of water-based cleaning products (laundry, dishwashing, multipurpose cleaners, and degreasers)
  • Safe replacement for synthetic hydrotropes with a more efficient and sustainable alternative
  • Supports innovation in cleaner formulations, offering an improved toxicological and environmental profile
