Dish CarePolymer Solutions

Dish care encompasses a range of products and methods designed to clean, sanitize, and maintain dishes, glassware, utensils, and cookware. SNF manufactures functional water-soluble polymers used in the final formulation for dish care products. Polymers can be essential ingredients for formulators by enhancing product performance, stability, and effectiveness.


Some common functions of polymers in dish care products include:

  • Thickener: Helps maintain the product’s consistency and ensures even distribution of active ingredients.
  • Dispersant: Disperses dirt, food particles, and stains for easy removal from dishes.
  • Rheology Modifier: Alters viscosity and flow properties for easier product application and rinsing.
  • Foam Enhancer: Lifts and suspends dirt, grease, and food properties for easier cleaning. Enhances product foaming properties and provides skin conditioning and quick drying benefits.
  • Anti-Redeposition Agent: Prevents redeposition of food, grease, and stains back onto cleaned dishes during washing resulting in cleaner, spot-free dishes.

Dish Care

By incorporating water-soluble polymers in dish care products, a manufacturer can enhance cleaning performance, improve product stability, and ensure customers a more efficient and effective dishwashing experience.
