The chemistry behind everyday cleaning.
Flarechem supports home-cleaning product manufacturers with detergent bases, formulation development and chemical ingredients. Bring us your product brief, performance target and manufacturing requirements to define the appropriate base or ingredient package.
Dishwashing & surface cleaning
Formulation support for hand dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, glass cleaners, bathroom cleaners and floor-care products.
Cleaning formulation ingredients
Discuss surfactants, builders, chelating agents, solvents, hydrotropes, pH adjusters, preservatives and other ingredients required by your formulation.
Technical discussion & qualification
Start with the application and specification.
We evaluate product goals, ingredient compatibility, stability, water conditions, packaging and intended use. Fragrance, color and concentration requirements are defined with your product brief.
Product availability, specifications, suitability and documentation are confirmed for the intended application.
