Aqua Bond is a Canadian manufacturer and supplier of specialty chemicals and products for consumer and industrial products. Aqua Bond has been working closely with Canadian manufacturers and SME’s to deliver custom ready to use products that provide both convenience, performance, and a good safety and environmental profile.
Our Cleaning Portfolio of products includes key raw materials: surfactants, preservatives, acids, alkalis, anti-redeposition agents, thickeners, chelants, binders and dispersants.
Surfactants are key ingredients in cleaners and many household, consumer, and industrial products. Surfactants provide the cleaning performance for the removal of oil, grease and organic residues from surfaces.
Surfactants combine with the dirt and oil and solubilise them in water thereby washing them away. Surfactants have both a hydrophobic and hydrophillic moieties in the molecules, which in combination yield many different properties; wetting agents, low or high foamers, defoamers, low or high detergency, viscosity builders, degreasers, dispersants, coupling agents, emulsifiers, demulsifiers, cross-linkers, solublizers, suspenders, stabilizers, and hydrotropes.
There are many types of surfactants and the main categories are ionic, non-ionic, and amphoteric. Surfactants are chosen depending on the application, target chemical and physical properties (HLB, foaming, molar mass) and compatibility with the other product ingredients.
