Fabric Softeners and Laundry Additives
Create Fabric Softeners that Reduce Water Use
Help Consumers Use Less Water and Save Time and Effort When Doing
Laundry
For the 70% of consumers around the world that wash their laundry by hand,
rinsing is a multi-step, time-consuming process that requires large amounts of
water and is tough on the environment. As much as 40 L of rinse water is used
for a 2 kg laundry load – which is an issue, given the growing global concern
about the availability of fresh water.
Effective foam reduction after the first rinse leads to fewer rinse cycles,
saving water, time and effort, even in semi-automatic washing machines.

This innovative silicone-based dispersion quickly collapses the foam
generated during the laundry rinse process, allowing up to a 50% reduction in
water usage in the rinse cycle, reducing the time and effort consumers must
