Detergents
How do we meet industry needs in the detergent market?
Humens produces a wide range of key ingredients for use in detergents. Certified by Ecocert as an additive for eco-detergents, these products are primarily used in powder laundry detergents and dishwasher tablets.
The flagship product in our line, Nabion®, is a co-granulate with sodium carbonate and sodium silicate. The combination of these two ingredients increases formula efficiency and replaces end-of-life products such as phosphate and zeolite.
