Home Care products include all types of liquid products such as floor cleaners, detergents and dishwashing agents.
Viscous formulas or gel cleaners are particularly useful for cleaning vertical surfaces. Gel cleaners also tend to be chosen for applications where the agent will be left to work for an extended period of time. Tylose® is ideal for thickening and adjusting the rheology of water-based, liquid cleaners with a pH of 4 to 11. The desired look and consistency for cleaning agents can be achieved by using Tylose.
Tylose can also be used as a thickener to adjust the rheology of liquid detergents, especially in products designed for delicate textiles.
Filter applications by:
Liquid detergents
Liquid detergents are mainly made up of surfactants such as alkylbenzene sulfonates, but also contain water softeners and enzymes. Depending on the type of detergent, further ingredients such as bleach are used in the formulation.

Neutral cleaners
Viscous formulas or gel cleaners are particularly useful for cleaning vertical surfaces. Gel cleaners also tend to be chosen for applications where the agent will be left to work for an extended period of time. For neutral cleaners (pH 6-8), Tylose® is ideal for thickening and adjusting the rheology.

In the field of Home Care the following properties of Tylose® are particularly significant:
Thickening / adjustment of consistency
Storage stability
High compatibility with other raw materials such as surfactants.
Tylose® delayed solubility grades have important characteristics which make them appropriate as thickeners in cleaner formulations: Easy incorporation in the formulation, solutions of good clarity, good compatibility with ionic surfactants and good storage stability.
Next application:
Oilfield
Tylose® is used in the production of crude oil and natural gas. Its enormous water retention capability and electrolyte tolerance makes Tylose a powerful fluid loss additive for borehole cementing. Higher viscous Tylose grades are suitable additives during the drilling process steps stimulation, completion and workover.
