Most I&I cleaning formulations are built around surfactant chemistry formulators know extremely well. As those systems mature, finding another increment of performance from the same toolkit becomes harder.

Amphi® is a glycolipid-based co-surfactant chemistry designed to improve wetting, soil pe*******on, dispersion and suspension.

Bench it alongside the chemistry you already run. Sample quantities and starting-point formulation guidance are available.

Amphi® is a glycolipid-based co-surfactant for I&I cleaning formulations, designed to work alongside the surfactant systems already in your formulation.

Evaluate how it influences wetting, soil pe*******on, dispersion and cleaning performance at the formulation level.

Sample quantities and starting-point formulation guidance are available.

Regulatory pressure can reshape a formulation long before the finished product reaches the market.

When fluorinated or halogenated surfactants come under scrutiny, formulators still need alternatives that can help recover the wetting, spreading and soil interaction those ingredients contributed.

Amphi® gives formulation teams another performance tool to evaluate during that work. As a glycolipid co surfactant, it can be assessed alongside the existing system when interfacial performance needs to be maintained through a formulation change.

A surfactant package does its work at the interface, where molecular structure influences how effectively the chemistry can organize, interact with the surface and support soil removal.

Amphi® brings glycolipid chemistry with a varied molecular structure and multiple active sites into that environment. That diversity gives the formulation another way to occupy and interact across the interface alongside conventional surfactants, supporting wetting, dispersion and cleaning efficiency at the system level.

For formulators, that creates another lever for optimizing interfacial performance within the surfactant package already on the bench.

Total surfactant content is easy to overlook when formulating a complex product.

Each component may have earned its place for a specific reason, but over time the combined package can increase cost, handling requirements and formulation complexity.

Amphi® works alongside existing surfactants to boost system performance and can support lower total surfactant loading in the right formulation. That gives chemists another lever to evaluate when optimizing the package, alongside simply increasing existing actives.

The most useful ingredient on the bench is often the one that helps the rest of the formula work better.

That is the role Amphi® is designed to play in I&I cleaning systems.

As a glycolipid co surfactant, Amphi® works alongside existing surfactants to drive performance improvements in cleaning that are governed by interfacial behavior, giving formulators another lever to optimize wetting, dispersion and cleaning efficiency at the system level.

The cleaning industry has spent decades getting very good at combining familiar surfactants into increasingly capable systems.

That work created today’s formulations, and it also means many R&D teams are now trying to find another increment of performance from chemistry they already know extremely well.

Amphi® adds a different tool to the bench: a multifunctional biosurfactant that gives formulators another way to influence the interfacial behavior that governs cleaning.
