House & Personal Care

We produce bentonites used in the production of powder detergents for various types of use. Bentonite may be used as a softening component or in the form of coloured granules as an aesthetic component.
We produce bentonites with a thickening or suspending effect for dense detergent products such as creams or pastes.
Bentonite is used in the formulation and production of cleaning products for the following purposes:
1) to soften;
2) to improve the appearance of the detergent;
3) to thicken/act as a suspending agent. The
softening effect is the result of filling micro-cavities in the fibres of the fabric with bentonite, leaving the surface softer and more pleasant to the touch.

Powder detergents

DETERSOFT granular products are used in post-addition in the production of detergents, in an amount of about 10-15%. DETERCAL and DETERCOL powder products, on the other hand, are used by detergent manufacturers at a pre-granulation stage, depending on the specific production and industrial requirements of the plant they are destined for.

Creamy

Specific powder bentonites in our COSMOCLAY range are used in the case of cream or paste detergents where formulas include a thickening and anti-sediment ingredient. Our COSMOCLAY P1 and COSMOCLAY P100 products contribute to giving the product a three-dimensional structure which allows incorporation of different elements and fillers that form an integral part of it.
