First European Order for New Detergent Polymer
Itaconix is pleased to announce that, following successful
trials, it has received its first order from a European customer
for its latest bio-based detergent polymer. The customer is a major
producer of non-phosphate automatic dishwashing detergent products.
Itaconix polymers allow formulators to meet increasing consumer
demands for environmentally-friendly products without compromising
performance.
The new detergent polymer, which was introduced in 2018, has
gained broad use in a new generation of North American automatic
dishwashing detergents. However, this expansion of use into the
European market represents a significant milestone for the Company
due to the higher performance demands for automatic dishwashing
detergents in Europe.
Dr. Jim Gordon, Director of Cleaning & Hygiene at Itaconix,
said: "Europe presents special challenges for detergent
formulators. Hard water conditions and high-temperature dishwashing
machine cycles create difficult barriers for new detergent
ingredients to gain acceptance. Building on our success in North
America, we have now demonstrated that our new polymer delivers
unique value and performance that meets the demands of European
customers."
John R. Shaw, CEO of Itaconix, stated: "As phosphates are phased
out due to environmental concerns, our novel bio-based polymers are
stepping in to enable a new generation of safer detergent products
that set new standards for performance, value, and increased
sustainability. We expect European detergent use will support our
forecast revenues for 2020 and beyond."
