High density surfactant matrix: HenkelRecent Research Landscape

Phase separation in low-water formulations leads to product instability and inconsistent dosing. Precise control of the surfactant-to-solvent ratio maintains a stable liquid crystalline structure for uniform cleaning performance.

What technical problems is Henkel addressing in High density surfactant matrix?

Poor liquid detergent stability

(9)evidences

Low concentration of cleaning agents leads to excessive packaging waste and inefficient transport logistics. Increasing the density of active matter reduces the environmental footprint and improves product sustainability.

Poor liquid phase stability

(8)evidences

High surfactant concentrations often lead to phase separation, sedimentation, or excessive viscosity in flowable formats. Maintaining physical integrity in concentrated matrices ensures product shelf-life and consistent dosing performance.

Surfactant phase instability

(8)evidences

Mechanical and chemical stress during laundering leads to the degradation of fabric fibers and structural weakening. Preventing this breakdown maintains garment longevity and prevents premature textile failure.
