Powerful Cold-Water Cleaning: Tackling Tough Stains and Saving Energy
Editor: Kerstin Stenger
Imagine this: you throw your laundry into the machine, set it to 30 °C or even 20 °C – and feel good about it: less electricity, less CO₂, lower costs. But even at cold temperatures, the washing results should be spotless and reliable.
This is where LANXESS comes in. Oxone™ Monopersulfate Compound is a state of the art, chlorine free oxidizing agent that unleashes its full power even at 20 °C in laundry formulations. It removes stubborn stains such as wine, coffee, or tea – more effectively than sodium percarbonate and tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED).
“With Oxone™ Monopersulfate Compound, we demonstrate how innovative chemistry advances the sustainability of cleaning products – by combining strong performance with reduced energy demand. Compared to washing at 40 °C, you can save significant amounts of energy, equivalent to 27 kilograms of CO₂ per household each year.”
Benefits of Oxone™ Chemistry
- Fast and efficient: Fully soluble within 10 seconds – Oxone™ chemistry can therefore effectively remove stains even within short-wash cycles.
- Cold wash performance: Designed for low temperatures, our Oxone™ ingredient delivers excellent cleaning results even at 20 °C – ideal for energy and eco conscious households. At the same time, washing in cold water reduces release of microfibers and extends garment life.
- Chlorine-free & odor neutral: Completely chlorine free and leaves no unpleasant smells – good for fabrics and the user experience.
- Versatile formulation options: Suitable for use in powders, pods, or tablets – it dissolves quickly and supports compact dosing.
Versatile Applications – More Than Just Laundry
Did you know that the Oxone™ monopersulfate compound can do much more than just clean your laundry? It is also suitable for dishwasher tablets, surface cleaners, toilet, drain, and appliance cleaners. Whether brilliantly clean laundry or a spotless kitchen – it delivers strong cleaning power wherever you need it.
