Evonik Launches Rewocare BDS 15

A biodegradable, "super-wetting" silicone surfactant.

Evonik Industries introduced Rewocare BDS 15, an organo-modified silicone surfactant with super-wetting characteristics that are said to be ideal for rinse aids in automatic dishwash and other hard surface cleaning products. The product conforms with OECD 301 F requirements which calls for more than 60% biodegradability within 28 days.

The new surfactant, a siloxane, can out-wet traditional surfactants by 10 times or more. In laboratory wetting measurements, 0.05% Rewocare BDS 15 in water reduced surface tension to 22.9mN/m at 20°C.
