QuestSoft™ Modified Bentonites
AMCOL Detergent Specialties have developed modified bentonites to meet the exacting specifications of modern household laundry detergents. Made with some of the most advanced processing capabilities in the world, QuestSoft offers its users excellent performance to effectively soften clothes. Experiencing a markedly improved softening performance over current products, QuestSoft provides an exciting step-change over existing technology.
PERFORMANCE
ADS’s bentonite clays have been specially designed to outperform the current leading 2-in-1 consumer product. The use of bentonite clay in a detergent formulation provides softening-through-the-wash benefits by depositing the clay onto the textile. This modified bentonite offers superior performance by depositing both bentonite and other organic components that give synergistic effects to dramatically improve the softening performance. With no detriment to cleaning efficiency, the level of softness improves with each wash cycle as the cooperative effects are enhanced during repeated washing.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
- Cleans and softens in one easy step
- Fewer wrinkles after washing
FORMULATION
Typical addition levels of QuestSoft of only 10 percent, in the final detergent formulation, are expected to become the industry norm. ADS provides powdered or granular materials to meet individual customer requirements.
ALTERNATIVE APPLICATIONS
Additional formulations for QuestSoft are:
- Liquid Detergents
- Solid fabric softener to be added at beginning of wash
- Fabric Softener Sheets
- Powdered Detergents
