Additives for Household, Industrial & Institutional Cleaners
Our products can help you solve typical challenges in formulating liquid home care products and professional cleaning detergents. In ongoing development and innovation, the products are also vital in replacing synthetic additives with bio-based alternatives without sacrificing performance.
Typical challenges to solve with Borregaard bio-based products include:
- Structuring of cationic, anionic and non-ionic surfactant systems
- Suspension of capsules and solids in liquid detergents
- Rheology and viscosity control of highly acidic formulations
- Uniform sprayability of strongly acidic, neutral and alkaline liquid detergents
- Cling and prolongated contact time of detergents and foam on vertical surfaces
- Incompatibilities with pH, surfactants, salts, enzymes, oxidising agents, temperature and solvents
- Safe: REACH exempt, non-sensitising, non-irritant, non-toxic

LignoBrite circular homecare ingredients
Borregaard is proud to present LignoBrite – a sustainable and multifunctional biopolymer for homecare products, bringing circularity and nature into your products.
Lignin is a natural polymer found in all plants. Borregaard extracts the lignin from wild, sustainably harvested Norway Spruce. The water-soluble lignin biopolymer LignoBrite is a powerful dispersant that boosts cleaning performance and prevents films, scales, and deposits in detergent applications such as automatic dishwash, laundry and hard surface cleaning.

Hi&i applications
Auto dishwasher (adw) tablets
Borregaard offers a variety of plant-based anionic dispersants for auto dishwasher (adw) products. these are sustainable alternatives to petrochemical-based anionic polymer ingredients, such as polyacrylic acid. borregaard’s 100% bio-based pionera products are derived from sustainably managed forests.
Hard surface cleaners
Uniform sprayability of strongly acidic, neutral and alkaline products. improved vertical cling of liquid formulations and foam.
Liquid laundry and fabric softeners
Structuring of cationic and anionic surfactants, suspension of fragrance capsules.
