Clariant’s TexCare One Terra polymer boosts ultra-concentrated laundry capsules, offering high cleaning performance, efficiency, and sustainability for modern formulations.
Clariant has introduced TexCare™ One Terra, a cutting-edge multifunctional polymer specifically designed to enhance the performance of ultra-concentrated liquid laundry products, particularly laundry capsules. This latest innovation expands Clariant’s well-established TexCare product portfolio, catering to the increasing consumer and industry demand for compact, high-efficiency laundry formulations. By offering superior cleaning performance even at low temperatures and reduced dosages, TexCare One Terra enables manufacturers to deliver premium, resource-efficient laundry solutions.
Dr. Christine Oberbillig, Global Marketing Manager Home Care & Sustainability at Clariant, emphasized, “TexCare One Terra addresses the growing need for advanced solutions that facilitate the development of more concentrated and compact laundry products without compromising on cleaning effectiveness. It allows our customers to produce laundry capsules that combine convenience, efficiency, and exceptional cleaning power in one product.”
At the core of TexCare One Terra is its novel chemical structure, engineered for excellent compatibility with high-concentration capsule formulations. This ensures that detergent manufacturers can create highly effective products with a single multifunctional polymer. The polymer’s capabilities include enhancing detergency, maintaining whiteness, and delivering next-level cleaning performance—all within compact formulations.
One of the key advantages of TexCare One Terra is its efficiency at low dosages. Even minimal use levels provide substantial performance benefits, enabling smaller capsule sizes without sacrificing cleaning power. The polymer performs effectively under low-temperature washes and short wash cycles, aligning with modern consumer preferences for energy-efficient laundry solutions.
Beyond performance, TexCare One Terra is developed with sustainability in mind. The polymer is highly biodegradable and incorporates the Renewable Carbon Index, utilizing waste-based feedstocks wherever possible. This makes it a valuable contributor to Clariant’s and its customers’ sustainability objectives. Its use in laundry formulations supports reduced energy and water consumption, decreased plastic packaging, and lower carbon emissions throughout the product lifecycle.
The launch of TexCare One Terra represents a significant milestone in Clariant’s commitment to innovation and sustainability in the home care sector. By enabling the creation of ultra-concentrated, environmentally friendly laundry capsules with superior cleaning efficacy, the polymer addresses both industry trends and the expectations of sustainability-conscious consumers. Manufacturers leveraging this technology can meet the dual demand for high-performance laundry products and reduced environmental impact, reflecting Clariant’s broader strategy of combining technical innovation with sustainable solutions.
