Citrofol® AI Extra is a bio-based liquid derived from the esterification of citric acid and ethanol, both sourced from fermentation processes. It finds diverse applications across various industries due to its environmentally friendly profile. In food and nutrition, it acts as a carrier for flavors, a plasticizer in agrochemicals, and an emollient in pharmaceuticals.

H Care® DL is a non-ionic surfactant used to improve foam, viscosity, and feel properties of personal care formulations. Formulations that use H Care® DL offer a noticeable improvement in the esthetics of shampoos and hand soaps over non-amide formulations. It is recommended for ‚¬Å“DEA-free‚¬ formulations.

H-Sil® EM-60 Concentrate is a 60% active nonionic emulsion of regular viscosity silicone. This product can be used as-is or diluted with water to form a stable emulsion letdown. It is formulated to provide excellent gloss, lubrication, and protection to a variety of surfaces. This product is an excellent ingredient for formulators to use in automotive tire and vinyl dressings, including polishes and waxes for automobiles and other hard surfaces.

H-Sil® OE is a silicone-based odor eliminator designed for industrial and consumer applications. This product acts as an odor eliminator by neutralizing the nitrogen groups that are present in most odors. It is a concentrate that can be diluted at 5 - 10% by weight in water for most applications. No other additives are needed. Fragrances can be added to the dilution by using common surfactants and fragrance bases. 5% dilutions of H-Sil® OE were successfully compared against leading industrial and consumer products via a test panel, and it consistently outlasted the competitors. At a use level of 5 - 10%, this product was successfully tested against the following odors:

• Smoke
• Butyric acid (body odor)
• Amine odors
• Urine
• Ammonia

H Care® LA-40 MB is a Certified Mass Balance (RSPO) product. It is derived from palm oil that contributes to the production of certified sustainable palm oil. This odorless, mild sulfosuccinate is derived from natural lauryl alcohol. It has more than 65% bio-based carbon content due to the vegetable origin of the lauryl alcohol used. This is a sulfate-free, PEG-free, and 1,4-dioxane-free material, which makes it ideal for natural-based, sulfate-free formulations. It provides very dense, voluminous foam and has a talc-like after-feel. It's mild to eyes and useful in sensitive skin cleansers. Despite its high Krafft point, this can be used to formulate clear products.

H-Sil® EM-FS-50 is a fluorosilicone-in-water emulsion that uses nonionic emulsifiers. This unique emulsion is specially formulated for hard surface polishes. The fluoro portion of the molecule adds protection from greasy and waterborne soils, and the silicone portion provides gloss and additional protection from outdoor elements. It is an excellent product for formulating spray-on and wipe-off transportation polishes and protectants.

H-Sil® SC C20-23 is a high-molecular-weight, nonionic silicone surfactant that has multifunctional properties in a wide range of applications. In hard surface cleaners, this product imparts low surface tensions and improved oily soil emulsification. This product is a water-soluble substantive additive to automobile surface cleaning formulas, and it imparts gloss and surface break for improved drying. It is an effective water-soluble mold-release agent that will allow easy rinsing for paintable mold-release products. This product is non-toxic and has a very low irritation profile for the skin and eyes. Prototype formulas and use recommendations are available from your Harcros representative.

Prayphos™ TKPP 600 TG GR is tetrapotassium pyrophosphate, presented as hygroscopic, white, coarse granules with a risk of caking. It features solubilizing properties, detergency, and sequestering capabilities. The product functions as a sequestrant and chelating agent in cleaning ingredients, agrochemicals, and cosmetic ingredients.

Prayphos™ TSP 12 TG is a technical-grade trisodium phosphate dodecahydrate presented as hygroscopic white crystals with a risk of caking. It is used in various industrial applications, including leather, paper, and textiles manufacturing, as well as water treatment.

H-Sil® EM-HTS Concentrate is a nonionic emulsion of hydroxy functional silicone fluid designed to provide superior performance in a variety of applications, including:

• Tire and vinyl dressings
• Polishes and waxes for hard surfaces
• As a performance booster to standard silicone emulsions
• As a durable release agent

H-Sil® 1108 is a low-molecular-weight, nonionic silicone polyether surfactant blend that imparts low surface tensions to formulated products. This product improves the spreading and wetting properties of household, industrial, and coating products. In spray adjuvant applications, it gives aqueous surface tensions of less than 23 mN/M.

H-Sil® D5 is a volatile cyclic dimethyl silicone fluid that is clear and odorless. This low-toxicity solvent evaporates completely at room temperature and leaves no residue. It is widely used in cosmetics to provide spreading, easy rub-out, and a slick, non-greasy feel to the skin. It is a good cleaning solvent for industrial applications with degreasing properties for dry cleaning and spot treatment applications.

H Care® DM is a non-ionic surfactant used to improve foam, viscosity, and feel properties of personal care formulations. Formulations that use H Care® DM offer a noticeable improvement in the esthetics of shampoos and hand soaps over non-amide formulations.
