Agenda
Consumer Specialties | Business Line Household Care Page | 2
� Traditional and Unique Applications: Substantivity
� Antibacterial agents/Corrosion inhibitors/Asphalt emulsion/Ore flotation� Fabric softeners� Vehicle drying agents
� Emulsifiers/surfactants: cleaning/drying aids/protectants
� Anionic Scavengers – Softergents: car care - fabric care� Silicone Quats: special organomodified silicones
� Latest Developments: Smart molecules
� Low temperature dispersible fabric softener quat
� Readily biodegradable emulsifier for vehicle rinse aids
� Quats are positively charged ions, R being alkyl or aryl
group(s)
� Permanently charged, independent of the pH of their solution.
� Cationic surfactants are salts of quaternary ammonium cations with an anion.
� Made by alkylation of tertiary amines
� Have hydrophobic tail(s), polar head(s) with positive charge(s) and counter-anion(s) with negative charge(s)
What Is a Cationic Surfactant (Quat)

An Important PropertySubstantivity
� An attractive force is required to deposit caring
agents from dilute formulations to the target
surface
� Most surfaces are negatively charged mainly due
to oxidation
� The Coulomb attraction between cationic
surfactants and surfaces can be used as a
deposition mechanism

Traditional and Unique Applications
Consumer Specialties | Business Line Household Care Page | 5
Antimicrobial Quats:� Disruption of intermolecular interactions (bacteriostatic, fungistatic, algistatic,
antiviral activity)
Corrosion Inhibitors:� Substantivity of the cationics will create protective coatings
Ore Flotation:� Quats will form monomolecular films on negative particles. Air bubbles will
float the hydrophobic components
Asphalt Emulsions:� Cationic emulsions will coat inorganic particles and metal surfaces even in
wet conditions (highway construction, vehicle undercoating)
Miscellaneous Applications:� Cosmetics, Hair conditioners, Pigment dispersants, etc.

Major Factors of Cleaning
1. Mechanical energy� Most carwashes do not use brushes anymore to protect the car
finish� “Touchless” systems are getting more popular
2. Time� Longer reaction time: better cleaning, but higher chance of
damaging the car finish� Longer time → less capacity → time is money
3. Temperature� Higher temperature: better cleaning, but higher chance of
damaging the car finish, higher energy cost
4. Chemistry� Most important factor� Should be highly efficient, safe, economical� Environmental friendly: minimum waste (water/chemical)
Consumer Specialties | Business Line Household Care Page | 63
Car Wash: Step I
1. Removal of contaminants by using surfactants:

Major Challenges
1. Anionic surfactants are efficient cleaners, but difficult to rinse them off from surfaces.
2. Carry over anionics can react with quaternary emulsifiers –Car
care drying agents will work less efficiently
3. Insoluble soap scums ruin the final aesthetics

Recommendations:
• Use level:
� Depending on rinse efficiency
� Use at least the same amount as the anionic carry-over concentration
• Chemistry:
� Monoalkyl diquats are the most efficient

Major Factors of Drying
1. Cleaned cars have a thin water film which sticks
strongly to the surface
2. Manual (towel) drying is very inefficient, slow and costly3. Blow drying is inefficient due to the stubborn water film
4. Water needs to be beaded for� Easy and quick water removal� Dryer, shinier cars � Customers associate semi-wet cars with poor
cleaning: they can easily be resoiled, water droplets leave spots after drying
Consumer Specialties | Business Line Household Care Page | 74
What are they?They are oil in water microemulsions containing emulsifiers, hydrophobes,
solvents/coemulsifiers and water
How do they work?They are diluted and sprayed on wet surfaces to make the surface hydrophobic
and to enhance the removal/draining of water

Increasing the Contact Angle Why is It Beneficial?

θ2
B2
A2
If the contact angle increases: θ2>θ1
the face area increases: A2>A1
� higher droplet profile (“larger sail”), easier water removal by the blower or driving
wind
the footprint decreases: B2<B1
� less contact between the droplet and the surface: less sticking, easier
water removal by the blower or driving wind

HISTORICAL EVOLVING
Drying Agent / Rinse Aid Trends
Consumer Specialties | Business Line Household Care Page | 90
Biodegradable Rinse Aids Drying and Protection of Surfaces
Goal:
Develop an emulsifier that enables the formulation of rinse aids/drying
agents to address the needs of the evolving market
� Biodegradability
� Environmental friendliness (low aquatic toxicity)
� Formulation versatility (for both traditional and biodegradable ingredients)
� Water reclaim system friendly formulations (due to droughts)
� Performance: improved drying/protection for less spotting
� Safety: low toxicity
� Raw materials from renewable resources
� Price/performance advantages

Traditional and New Emulsifiers
Dialkyl Quats:� good performance, stable products
� low biodegradability
� (high di-fatty-alkyl content)
Ester Quats:
TEA type:� medium performance, limited formulas
� good biodegradability, low toxicity
� (1:2:1 mixture of mono-, di- and tri-fatty-alkyl ratio)
MDEA type:� good performance, versatile formulas
� good biodegradability, low toxicity
