New Companion for Laundry Pods – Ucorse XC90/XC90L

In recent years, a trending laundry product has entered the public eye and become a rising star in the laundry market - laundry pods..Laundry pods feature a novel shape and simple operation. They are fragrant, smooth in texture, moderately thick, gentle in nature, and do not damage clothing. With a unique low-foam concentrated color-lock formula, they rinse more easily, dissolve instantly upon contact with water without residue, and effectively remove stubborn stains, leaving clothes clean and fresh.

Laundry pods on the market are highly effective; just one pod can wash a full load of laundry. They clean thoroughly, leave a pleasant scent, eliminate the hassle of overdosing, and save both effort and cost. Selection of surfactants for laundry pods. Conventional surfactants: isomeric alcohol ethoxylates (Sasol isomeric tridecyl alcohol ether13/80, isomeric decanol ether 80), AEO, AES, FMEE, sulfonic acid, and others.

In high-concentration surfactant systems,how to prevent gelation becomes a challenge:

Gelation during production: Mixing high-concentration surfactants can easily lead to gel formation, requiring adjustments to the mixing sequence.

Gelation during storage: Risk of gelation due to structural changes caused by the evaporation of small molecules (including water and co-solvents). Gelation during use: Upon dilution with a large amount of water, the system may enter the gel phase.

To address this, a new type of green surfactant suitable for highly concentrated formulations has emerged.:

Modified oil derivative and branched-chain ethoxylatesUcorse XC90/XC90L is a nonionic surfactant derived from oil-based sources, offering excellent biodegradability. It has outstanding solubilization, emulsification, dispersion, and detergency properties, is mild with low irritation, resists gel formation, and exhibits exceptional freeze-thaw stability. It can be used with various nonionic, anionic, and zwitterionic surfactants.

Particularly suitable for:

  1. concentrated detergent products;

  2. conventional detergent products;

  3. shower gels, hand soaps, and rinse-off products;

  4. textile emulsifiers.

Special structural performance in laundry pod products

The product has no obvious gel zone and is miscible with water and propylene glycol in any proportion at room temperature.

In concentrated products, it can significantly reduce freezing point and viscosity, decreasing propylene glycol usage.

AlternativeXL series or TO series, freezing point can drop by more than 5℃.

Offers excellent detergency, superior to C10 branched alcohol surfactants and close to C13 branched alcohol surfactants.
