Isopropyl alcohol is a cleaning agent that can also be found in cosmetics and personal care products including eye makeup, lotions, soaps and hair care products. It is also the main ingredient in common household rubbing alcohol. We use it in our products to remove dirt and deposits by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they're attached to, so they can be rinsed away. Then, it evaporates quickly.

Diisopropanolamine is a cleaning agent that can also be found in detergents and degreasers. We use it to make a product formula clean better by affecting the molecules in the formula so they work together better. Diisopropanolamine can also be a pH adjuster that alters the pH of a product to improve stability. Every formula has an optimum pH to make it work best. For example, a formula that’s more acidic works better for soap scum removal. Its opposite, a formula that’s more alkaline, might be more effective at removing grease or greasy soils. We use pH adjusters to make sure we achieve the best pH for a particular job. Also, the pH of a formula can affect how long it lasts within a container – for example limiting its tendency to corrode a can, container or dispenser. 

Hexylene glycol is a clear liquid carrier that can also be found in a variety of cosmetics, personal care and household products. A carrier does just what it sounds like - it helps carry a product to a surface by thinning or thickening the formula or simply ensuring even distribution of the other ingredients in the formula. We use hexylene glycol because without a carrier, the product would not work with the same consistency across a surface. Hexylene glycol can also be used as a cleaning agent, or "surfactant," that removes dust, dirt and soils.

Polyvinyl alcohol is a carrier that can be found in a variety of cosmetics, personal care and household products. A carrier does just what it sounds like - it helps carry a product to a surface by ensuring even distribution of the ingredients in the formula. A polyvinyl alcohol pouch for our products is used to hold the liquid formula in a convenient dosage form. Once the pouch is dropped into a bucket of water, the film dissolves, releasing the product for dilution and making it ready to use.

Dipropylene Glycol Methyl Ether is a cleaning agent that can also be found in kitchen cleaners, metal cleaners and industrial equipment cleaners. In our products, it helps dissolve the dirt during the cleaning process. Also, due to its good solubility, it helps stabilize the formula by dissolve a substance, such as a fat, oil or lipid into water.

Ethoxylated Alcohol is a cleaning agent, or "surfactant," that can also be found in household cleaning products like all-purpose cleaners and automobile cleaning products. We use it in our products to remove dirt and deposits by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they are attached to, so they can be rinsed away. Ethoxylated alcohol can also be used as an emulisifier. It helps bind ingredients together and keep a formula from separating. Over time, it is possible for formulas in a product to separate. We add emulsifiers to our products where needed to ensure that our products provide the same performance use after use.

Propylene Glycol is a solubilizer that can also be found in cosmetics, toothpaste, food and beer. It is sometimes confused with ethylene Glycol, the sweet-tasting ingredient that can be used in air conditioning systems and antifreeze products, but it is a different ingredient. Propylene Glycol is used in our products to help ensure even distribution of the ingredients throughout a product, to help it work better. We also use it as an odor eliminator; as a cleaning agent, or "surfactant," that removes dirt; as a wetting agent; or as a carrier that enables delivery of the product to the surface. In certain products, Propylene Glycol works as a moisturizer helping to prevent a product or surface, like leather, from drying out by retaining moisture making the material softer and more pliable.
