A large variety of chemicals are used in the Home Care industry depending on their area of application. Broadly, chemicals are required to make surfactants and foam boosters for their use in floor detergents, dishwashing liquids and other cleaners. A wide range of preservatives are also used in various areas of applications in household products. Solvents are typically a part of most formulations to help dissolve the active content and to improve the flowness and spreadability of the product.
