FOCUS of VOC content in paints that are traditionally formulated using solvents. But reducing solvent content in coatings gave rise to a number of coating performance issues. DuPont learned from its research that the multifunction properties of Zonyl can address these problems. Fluorosurfactants enhance flow and wetting, minimize surface defects, function as antiblock agents, prolong open time, and are easy to use.

Cognis Corp launches new products for I&I applications Cognis Corp has launched three new ingredients for industrial and institutional cleaners, namely, Dehypound Advanced, Arlypon VPC and Polyquart Pro. Dehypound Advanced is a nonionic surfactant blend that can be used for all kinds of hard surface cleaners. Arlypon PVC is also a surfactant blend, but it is targeted as a thickener for all types of acid formulations such as hydrochloric, sulfamic, phosphoric, citric, lactic and glycolic. Polyquart Pro is an aqueous solution of an acrylic copolymer designed to function as an additive in cleaners with a pH of less than 0.5 to 14. The product improves the gloss and allows easy recleaning of surfaces. HAPPI, Household & Personal Products Industry, Nov 2006, 43 (11), 98-99
ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS Ciba Specialty Chemicals unveils new ingredients Ciba Specialty Chemicals has launched Ciba Magnafloc APC, Ciba Tinosan SDC-R and Ciba Tinotex 4023 for use in cleaning products. Ciba Magnafloc APC is a nonionic soil management polymer for use in dilutable and non-dilutable allpurpose cleaners and cleaning wipes for the industrial, institutional and consumer sectors. With the ability to rapidly flocculate suspended soils, Magnafloc APC prolongs the effects of the cleaning solution and lessens 4

re-deposition of soil on cleaning appliances and surfaces. Magnafloc APC boosts the cleaning efficiency of wipes, and leaves surfaces cleaner and shinier. Ciba Tinosan SDC-R is a silver dihydrogen citrate that can be used in hard surface antimicrobial cleaners and disinfectants. Ciba Tinotex 4023 is an emulsion of polydimethylsiloxane that is suited for laundry care and rinse conditioners. HAPPI, Household & Personal Products Industry, Nov 2006, 43 (11), 98
New I&I ingredient introductions from Croda, Noveon and others Croda Inc has launched Crodaquat SRS, a proprietary ingredient for use in hard surface cleaners, multipurpose cleaners, anti-stat cleaners and vehicle cleaners. It offers superior cleaning, excellent anti-stat properties and blends well with other ionic products and builders. The company also launched Primasurf SC-50 for application in hard surface cleaners, multipurpose wipes and hand laundry detergent. The product is labelled as a biodegradable, mild anionic/nonionic system that effectively cleans surfaces. Noveon has launched Carbopol Aqua 30 Polymer and Carbopol EZ-4 Polymer, two new ingredients for use in I&I cleaners. Carbopol Aqua is an aqueous acrylate emulsion for use in hard surface cleaners, fabric pretreatments and liquid laundry detergents. It offers a no-drip feature, and enhanced spray characteristics and stability. Carbopol EZ-4 Polymer is a powdered rheology modifier for use in surfactant-based detergents. The product also exhibits a no-drip feature and has enhanced product stability. Kingsfield Inc of Old Tappan, NJ, USA, has launched U-gen, a urea hydrogen peroxide targeted for use as a bleaching agent, an antiseptic or a disinfectant. U-gen features improved sterilizability and wider disinfectant spectrum compared with hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid. Seppic Inc has launched Solagum USPI, Simulsolo SL 826 and Simulsolo SL FR 520, three new ingredients used for I&I cleaners. Solagum USPI is an acrylic polymer for thickening or emulsifying cleaners and polishes. Simulsolo SL 826 is readily biodegradable and has
applications in hand dish, car wash, or any uses where high foam, solubilizing and detergent qualities are necessary. Simulsolo SL FR 520 is also readily biodegradable and is ideal for low foam cleaners, floor, high energy laundry, industrial bottle wash, and metal working. Finally, Spectra Colors Corp has introduced Spectra WD, Spectrawhite 20B Liquid, and Spectra pH Sensitive Dyes. Spectra WD products are clean, bright, washable non-staining colorants that are ideal for use in cleaners, detergents, children’s products, speciality coatings and writing instruments. Utilized in aqueous environments, they are nonflammable and environmentally safe. Spectrawhite 20B is an aqueousbased optical brightener that has increased levels of fluorescence, suitable for use in detergents, speciality coatings, speciality inks and cleaners. It is non-hazardous, environmentally friendly and economical. Spectra pH Sensitive Dyes can change colour based on pH environment. It is ideal for detergents, children’s products, cleaners, writing instruments and speciality coatings. HAPPI, Household & Personal Products Industry, Nov 2006, 43 (11), 99-101
DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products begins bio-propanediol production DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products LLC announced the first commercial shipments of Bio-PDO (1,3propanediol) from its $100 M facility in Loudon, TN, USA. The 45,300 tonnes/y capacity Loudon facility produces 1,3-propanediol (propylene glycol) from renewable resources, in this case corn (maize) sugar, making it the first facility in the world to manufacture this new bio-based product. The joint venture uses a proprietary fermentation process developed jointly by DuPont and Tate & Lyle to produce Bio-PDO using corn instead of petroleum-based feedstocks. The production of BioPDO consumes 40% less energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 20% versus petroleum-based propanediol. Production of 100 M pounds of Bio-PDO will save the energy equivalent of 10 M gallons of gasoline/y. Bio-PDO can be used in a variety of applications, either by itself FEBRUARY 2007
