Functional additives like SNF’s polymer-based rheology modifiers provide consumer benefits which include but are not limited to:
- Anti-fogging
- Anti-streaking
- Quick drying
- Foam boosting
- Easier second-time cleaning
Hard surface care includes cleaning, maintaining, and preserving surfaces such as floors, countertops, walls, and fixtures made of wood, tile, stone, concrete, laminate, and metal. These care products are essential to maintain surface aesthetics, functionality, and longevity.
SNF offers water-soluble polymers for the final formulations of various hard surface care products. Polymers are key in delivering thickening and functional benefits for formulations intended for hard surface cleaning, maintenance, and preservation. With a comprehensive portfolio of rheology modifiers, SNF ensures a broad range of ingredient compatibility for optimal suspension, texture, and flow properties.
