Anionics
Negatively charged chemistry for detergency, coupling, and industrial-strength performance
Anionic surfactants carry a negative charge and are the most widely used surfactant class globally — they drive detergency, foam, and surface activity across cleaning, personal care, and industrial applications. Verdant's anionic portfolio is built around specialty chemistries where standard sulfates fall short.
Phosphate Esters
The chemistry
Anionic surfactants based on phosphate functionality, available in mono-ester, di-ester, and blended forms, built around fatty alcohol or ethoxylated alcohol hydrophobes.
What it delivers
Strong wetting, anti-wear, and corrosion-inhibition performance — with very low-foam variants for caustic cleaning and CIP systems where high-foam surfactants fail.
Who it’s for
Industrial formulators building alkaline cleaners, bottle wash, and metal cleaners — and lubricant formulators developing metalworking fluids, hydraulic fluids, and rolling oils that need anti-wear performance baked into the surfactant package.
The Verdant difference
The industry-leading DePHOS® portfolio — anti-wear performance for lubricants, very low-foam grades for caustic cleaners, and broad coverage across industrial and energy applications.
Hydrotropes
The chemistry
Coupling agents that solubilize otherwise incompatible surfactants and active ingredients into a single-phase formulation. Available in anionic, amphoteric, and phosphate-ester-based chemistries.
What it delivers
Single-phase clarity at high active load, even in high-electrolyte and caustic systems where most surfactants drop out of solution.
Who it’s for
Formulators building built household and industrial cleaners, high-electrolyte detergents, alkaline cleaners, and agricultural concentrates — anyone who's fought a separation problem and lost.
The Verdant difference
Salt-free, biodegradable amphoteric hydrotropes, hydrotropic amphoterics for high-electrolyte systems, and low-foam phosphate ester hydrotropes — covering the full range of coupling challenges.
