Household and Cleaning Solutions

At the 2012 American Cleaning Institute (ACI) Annual Meeting and Industry Convention, January 30 to February 4 in Orlando, Florida, Henkel presented Dow Corning with the “Best Innovation Contributor Laundry and Home Care 2011” award.

“Dow Corning’s outstanding contributions in 2011 have resulted in a new generation of foam control agents. These ingredients significantly improve the quality of the washing process while increasing material efficiency by up to four times,” says Thomas Müller-Kirschbaum, Corporate Senior Vice President R&D, Technology and Supply Chain Laundry & Home Care at Henkel.

This new foam control technology has been implemented globally in Henkel’s laundry detergents.
