BASF’s innovative chelating agent is readily biodegradable and improves the cleaning effect of detergents and cleaners in home care and industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning applications. It is emerging as the preferred alternative to phosphates in modern, high-performance, ecological dishwashing detergents.
“We continue to see rapid market growth for more eco-friendly cleaning products. With the expansion and globalisation of our Trilon M production capacity we will be able to serve the global demand for Trilon M and support our customers on their path towards sustainable cleaning solutions,” said Gabriel Tanbourgi, President of BASF’s Care Chemicals division.
