SOLTELLUS™ 2101L is a biodegradable, anionic polymer synthesized from aspartic acid. It offers multifunctional benefits, effectively replacing polyacrylate in laundry detergents. Along with soil removal, it provides dissolution, ion sequestering, and anti-scaling properties, while enhancing enzyme activity. It performs well in cold water and various water hardness conditions and is listed on the EPA's Safer Chemical Ingredients list.

    • Benefits
      • Superior stain removal
      • Boosts enzyme activity
      • Sequestrant / Dispersant
      • Performs in hard waters
    • Added Benefits
      • Great Performance in Hard Water:
        • In the USA, over 85% of households have hard water and only 20% of them have water softener which leaves 65% of the households with hard to clean clothes. Thanks to Soltellus triple mode of action as an enzyme booster, sequestrant and a dispersant, it will enhance stain removal while caring for your clothes.
      • Enhances the Cleaning Performance in All Water Hardness
        • Surfactants are the workhorse of laundry detergent. When mineral ions bind to anionic surfactants to form insoluble complexes, the surfactant becomes unavailable to clean. Therefore, more detergent is needed to achieve the same performance which is neither ecological. nor economical. Moreover, the insoluble complexes will deposit on fabrics or in the machine and cause build up or stubborn stains. By binding to hard water ions, Soltellus™ improves the performance in hard water so less detergent is needed, resulting in cost savings.

    SOLTELLUS 2101L - Product Benefits - 1

    • Fabric Care
      • SOLTELLUS 2101L binds hard water ions and keeps minerals in solution, limiting the deposition of minerals on fabric leading to residues, dinginess. graying, stiffness and dull color. When using SOLTELLUS 2101L your clothes will be softer and look brighter; darks will stay dark and the whites will be whiter.
    • As a Dispersant, SOLTELLUS 2101L Solubilizes Calcium Carbonate:
      • Prevents the deposition of minerals on fabrics leading to stiffness, dullness, stains and residues on clothes
      • Prevents the formation of hard to remove residues on clothes and in the machine
      • Superior dispersion than polyacrylate, sodium citrate and other biodegradable sequestrants

    SOLTELLUS 2101L - Product Benefits - 1

    • SOLTELLUS 2101L Effectively Sequesters Iron and Calcium
      • Enhances the cleaning performance in all water hardness prevents the formation of hard to remove residues on clothes like sebum stains
      • Prevent dinginess, graying and keeps color vivid by keeping the surfactant active
      • Enhances the removal of iron containing stains like blood and clay
      • Comparable activity to EDDS on iron and superior to polyacrylate (38%). GLDA (51%) and sodium citrate (66%)
      • Comparable performance to other biodegradable chelants on calcium
