More than 50 years ago, Dequest® pioneered the development of phosphonate-based threshold scale inhibitors and chelants which have played a crucial role in the replacement of phosphates as builder systems in household detergent and Industrial & Institutional cleaning formulations. More recently, thanks to a team of experts from the Advanced Water Solutions (AWS) business unit of Italmatch, the product range has been strengthened by a unique set of special solutions designed for the Fabric & Home Care industry and Industrial cleaning – including polymers and carboxymethyl inulin derivatives. When you choose AWS products you also get the support of a team of experts to help you with the formulation and processing of our products, to find a tailor-made solution for your application. We are experts in helping our customers make the correct choice of a builder/co-builder system, which can potentially have a huge impact on the cleaning performance of detergents for both stain removal and secondary benefits such as whiteness maintenance and fibre incrustation.
