Liquid surfactant formulation matrix: UnileverRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent cleaning performance and phase instability in liquid detergents lead to consumer dissatisfaction and product waste. These innovations engineer specific chemical ratios and stabilizing agents to maintain efficacy across varying water hardness levels.

What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Liquid surfactant formulation matrix?

Inadequate surface soil removal

(21)evidences

Standard liquid formulations often suffer from poor stain breakdown and mineral interference during the wash cycle. Improving the synergy between chelants and surfactants overcomes cleaning performance bottlenecks in hard water.

Fabric soil redeposition

(13)evidences

Incomplete removal of complex organic residues during automated washing cycles. Eliminating these soils prevents film buildup and ensures sanitary surfaces.

Inadequate soil removal efficiency

(4)evidences

Manual or static dispensing leads to incorrect chemical ratios and formula waste. Precise automated delivery ensures consistent cleaning efficacy and resource efficiency.
