do you love soft and fresh laundry?
Of course, you do!
Do you know what makes your laundry so soft?
It’s the magic of long molecules, called polymers that provide a conditioning effect on textile fibers, similar to the way a hair conditioner softens your hair.
What if we told you that the same polymer also helps suspend fragrance capsules in your fabric conditioner that makes your laundry smell fresh for weeks? That’s a two for one!
Ashland’s new ecothix™ polymer does both – soften your fabrics and help suspend fragrance encapsulates. Formulators love it because it requires low use levels, is compatible with a wide range of ingredients, and can be used in a wide pH range and both hot and cold processes.
good for the planet
Ecothix™ polymer is made from over 70% natural origin content and is significantly more biodegradable than commonly used synthetic alternatives.
