SugaBoost – Award-Winning APG Derivative Technologies

Suga®Boost performance surfactants can significantly raise the cleaning performance over traditional surfactants such as DDBSA, SLES, and NP-9, particularly in removing food soils, animal grease, and protein soil. Suga®Boost surfactants demonstrate effectiveness for use in food services, food processing applications, hospitality services, floor/carpet care, kitchen, bathroom, health care, public facilities, and transportation cleaning.

Suga®Boost products have very mild characteristics in comparison to high irritation or regulated surfactants, such as sulfates, alcohol alkoxylates, Cocamide DEA, and betaines.

Suga®Boost performance surfactants have broad applications in multiple household and industrial applications to meet demands for high performance green formulations.
