Delivering performance-driven ingredients and formulation expertise to support cleaning, sanitation, and maintenance products, we support HI&I manufacturers with a broad portfolio of functional minerals, surfactants, polymers, and specialty additives designed to enhance performance, stability, aesthetics, and cost efficiency across liquid, powder, and solid systems.

Products available to HI&I manufacturers include:

Functional Minerals & Fillers

• Huber – Calcium carbonate products for cost optimization, scrubbing performance, and viscosity control in powdered and liquid cleaning systems
• KaMin – Hydrous (ASP®) and calcined (Mattex®, Satintone®, Ultrex®) kaolin clays for rheology control, suspension, and surface interaction
• EP Minerals (U.S. Silica) – Diatomaceous earth for absorption, mild abrasiveness, and functional performance in cleaning and filtration applications
• JRS USA – Naturally-derived cellulose fibers for reinforcement, rheology, texture, stabilization and tablet disintegration.

Surfactants, Rheology Modifiers & Additives

• Nouryon – Surfactants and BERMOCOLL® cellulosic thickeners for wetting, dispersion, viscosity control, and stability in cleaning formulations; water-retention for water-based products
• PQ Corporation – Specialty silicas for anti-caking, free-flow, moisture control and liquid carrying in detergents, tablets and cleaning formulations; mild abrasive silicas
• Active Minerals – Attapulgite-based rheology modifiers and thixotropic thickeners for suspension and viscosity control in aqueous and solvent-based systems. Gel-grade attapulgite functions as a primary or co-thickener in demanding applications, forming thixotropic gels and suspending ingredients when dispersed in water, solvents, or oil systems with an appropriate surfactant.

Polymers & Performance Enhancers

• Essential Polymers – Waterborne polymers for improved adhesion, film formation, and durability in surface treatment and protective applications
• Celanese – Functional additives and polymer systems for enhanced performance in specialty cleaning and maintenance formulations

Effect, Color & Specialty Pigments

• Susonity – Pearlescent and effect pigments delivering unique color, luster, glitter, and shimmer effects ideal for products and packaging
• DayGlo – Fluorescent pigments and color dispersions for product differentiation and visual impact
• DCL Corporation – High-performance pigments for color stability and durability
• Oxerra – Iron oxide pigments and titanium dioxide for opacity, brightness, and consistent color
