Sanyo Chemical Industries has announced that we have developed "MICELAND SCD-100," a laundry detergent base that is biodegradable, has excellent detergency, and can be formulated in high concentrations. With these features of "MICELAND SCD-100", we aim to further reduce environmental impact and contribute to the creation of a sustainable society.

The company believes that the growing concern for safety and the environment will increase the need to further reduce the environmental impact of compact liquid detergents, and we have developed "MICELAND SCD-100," as detergent base that adds value to compact liquid detergents by being biodegradable.

MICELAND SCD-100 can achieve both "biodegradability" and "detergency", which have been difficult to achieve with conventional compact liquid detergents. It succeeded to achieve both properties through their proprietary interface control technology.

MICELAND SCD-100 is a neutral nonionic surfactant that causes minimal damage to clothes and provides excellent detergency against sebum stains. Compared to conventional compact liquid detergent, the detergent using MICELAND SCD-100 can reduce the amount used while maintaining the same detergency as before, thereby reducing environmental emissions.

And when the same amount of detergent is used, it provides the higher detergency, so the concentration can be adjusted to meet the customer's needs. In addition, its high water solubility and excellent flowability even at high concentrations make it suitable for use in compact liquid detergents. Moreover, its excellent biodegradability improves the efficiency of sewage treatment and reduces energy consumption, thereby contributing to the reduction of environmental impact.
