GTQ™

A highly economical, multidimensional surfactant with superior performance


Overview

GTQ™ is a groundbreaking cost-effective surfactant providing exceptional performance for customers. It was developed as a response to the price pressures faced by our customers in their markets, offering the same multi-dimensional benefits as Q3™ but at a significantly lower price point. GTQ™ is CleanGredients listed as it is noncorrosive to metal, skin, and eye and can be used in Safer Choice, Green Seal and Ecologo certifiable products. GTQ™ is VOC exempt, has a low odor profile and contains <1 utf <1ppm 1,4-dioxane while demonstrating superior performance for cleaning greases, oils and carbonaceous soils.

Cost / Performance

  • 3rd party tested - results exceeding many commonly used surfactants on the market
  • Able to be used in acidic, neutral, alkaline or peroxide based formulas (not stable with hypochlorite)
  • Can use less GTQ™ vs. linear alcohol surfactants - thus lowering your formula cost
  • Due to exceptional performance, GTQ™ can be used at lower levels to achieve lower cost in finished formulas
  • Excellent low odor profile
  • Good fragrance solubilizer
  • Self-splitting nature will allow for utilizing less surfactant in cleaning systems (by re-using after skimming oils)
  • Superior cleaning for greases, oils and carbonaceous soils
