Detergent Polymers are mostly used as a cleaning solution in the manufacturing, laundry and household segments

Detergent polymers is the product line of choice for printing on heavy-duty plastic sheets. These are the most frequently used plastic sheets which are subjected to all sorts of weathering and cleaning processes. As such, these labels are highly durable and can even withstand extreme temperatures.

The detergent polymers ensure excellent performance under all conditions since they are water/oil resistant, which makes them ideal for any type of use. These labels are usually manufactured from high quality resin with a unique electrostatic charge system that ensures fast and easy application. This is due to the ingredients that are encapsulated in an electrostatic core, which will ensure that no heat or electricity is required during the application process. The bonding of the polymer components ensures that they do not separate, resulting in consistent application. As a result, the resulting product is free of dirt and odors.

The detergent polymers are popular across the entire globe due to their excellent performance properties. These products are often used in a wide range of applications, including food service, automotive maintenance, and manufacturing industry. In the food service industry, these are commonly used as touch-screen labels to indicate ingredients, services and price points. In North America, these products are also widely used to indicate diabetic friendly items and serve wines and spirits according to specific standards. For instance, in February 2021, a U.S.-based firm focused on developing sustainable cleaning solutions, NanoChem, partnered with Lygos to develop flexible solutions for aspartic acid which is widely used in household and laundry detergents. In Europe, the detergent polymers have been successfully introduced in the automotive sector, particularly in Europe's automotive industry.

The most recent breakthrough in Europe has been the launch of two new detergent polymers: Biodegradable Polymers and Dow Chemical Company (Dow). The biodegradable polymers have gained popularity due to their extraordinary physical and chemical properties. These detergents are made of low-cost raw materials and contain plasticizers that make it possible for it to break down completely within one year. Dow's biodegradable polymer series uses recycled paper as its raw material, and Dow produces high quality chips using this process. As such, the biodegradable and Dow brand names are in great demand across Europe.
