Effective and sound
Working, shopping, learning and eating are some activities that we normally do in different kinds of facilities or institutions such as office buildings, shopping centers, schools and restaurants. Cleaning these facilities regularly requires effective ingredients that have specific properties for each application.
Wide range of institutional cleaning applications
Typical institutional cleaning products are often similar to commonly available household products, and are used to perform tasks that are similar to those performed by household consumers. Examples of such institutional products include floor cleaners, all purpose cleaners, dishwashing and laundry detergents and insecticides.
In addition to our broad portfolio covering the needs of formulators of institutional cleaners, our high quality targets and sound supply chains, Cognis is committed to environmental soundness, safety and, in particular, sustainability.

Fabric care
Washing, disinfecting, sanitizing and conditioning of fabrics using specialized laundry machines with different metering units essentially need efficient surfactants with low to no foam tolerance over a broad temperature range in high alkaline and acidic conditions. These requirements are perfectly met by Cognis Sulfopon® mainly based on natural, renewable raw materials and Texapon® types. Moreover different kinds of fabric care additives are available protecting the color and fibers of textiles as well as caring of sensitive skin.
Hand cleansing
As our most visible appendages, the hands have a lot to cope with through the course of the day. For operators working in the I&I industry hand cleansing is an important topic as their skin is exposed to many different kinds of strong dirt. Frequent cleaning needs ingredients with caring effects on the skin.
