Products Overview:

Zeolite is the most promising substitute for sodium tripolyphosphate, a substance present in detergents considered to be one of the biggest environmental threats. Zeolites are a good alternative because they:

  • Enable the production of high-performance detergents at a low cost;
  • Elevate the cations exchange capacity;
  • Are excellent structural agents for detergents;
  • Remove ions from heavy metals, iron, copper, and manganese, enabling tissue whitening and potentiating the bleaching process;
  • Are capable of liquid absorption, promoting anti-binding action in powder detergents;
  • Are safe for the environment and for humans;
  • Are Phosphor-free.

Applications:

Zeolite 4A is used mainly in the detergent industry. It is different from natural zeolites, which cannot be used in detergents. This is because natural zeolites have a low capacity for ionic exchange, an elevated apparent density and particle sizes that leave a deposition of particles in clothes.
