🔬

Formula Development

Custom detergent formulations from scratch or modifications to existing formulas. Active matter, enzymes, bleach, softeners — all customizable.

🧪

Performance Testing

Lab testing for detergency, foam height, pH, viscosity, stability, and compatibility. Every formula is validated before production.

🌍

Market-Specific Formulas

Adapted for hard water, cold water washing, hand wash vs machine wash, and regional fragrance preferences.

🌿

Eco-Friendly Options

Phosphate-free, biodegradable, plant-based surfactant formulas for environmentally regulated markets.

📋

Formula Matching

Provide a reference product and we'll develop a comparable detergent formula with matching performance and properties.

⚙️

Scale-Up Production

Seamless transition from lab sample to mass production. Our manufacturing lines are integrated with the R&D process.

What We Can Customize in Your Detergent Formula

Active Matter Content
4% to 30%+ for powder, 5% to 40%+ for liquids — controls cleaning power and cost. We can go higher or lower based on your market positioning. Need a specific active matter level? Our R&D team develops formulas for any requirement.
Surfactant Types
LAS, AOS, AEO-9, SLES, SLS — selected based on performance, biodegradability, and cost requirements
Bulk Density (Powder)
280 g/L (low density, fluffy) to 1000 g/L (high density, compact) — affects packaging size and cost
Foam Level
High foam (hand wash markets), medium foam, low foam, non-foam (HE machine wash)
pH Value
6.5 (mild, for hand-friendly products) to 11.0 (strong cleaning for heavy-duty)
Enzyme Packages
Protease (protein stains), lipase (grease), amylase (starch), cellulase (fabric care) — single or multi-enzyme
Bleach System
Optical brighteners, sodium percarbonate, TAED activator — for whitening and stain removal
Water Softener
STPP (sodium tripolyphosphate), zeolite, citrate — selected based on local water hardness and regulations
Fragrance
Lemon, lavender, jasmine, rose, ocean, floral, green tea, fresh — or custom-developed scents
Color
White, blue, pink, green, purple, transparent — with or without speckles
Viscosity (Liquid)
From water-thin to gel consistency — matched to bottle design and consumer expectations
Special Features
Color protection, fabric softening, antibacterial, food-safe, hypoallergenic, baby-safe formulations

Custom Formula Development Process

1

Requirements Analysis

You share your target market, product positioning, performance requirements, and regulatory constraints. We analyze feasibility.

2

Formula Design

Our R&D team designs the initial detergent formulation — selecting surfactants, builders, enzymes, and additives.

3

Lab Sample

We produce a lab sample within 7-15 days for your evaluation. Performance testing included.

4

Refinement

Based on your feedback, we refine the formula — adjusting fragrance, foam, viscosity, or performance until you're satisfied.

5

Production Trial

Scale-up from lab to production line. Validation of manufacturing parameters and quality consistency.

6

Mass Production

Full-scale OEM production with the approved custom formula. Ongoing quality control and formula stability monitoring.

Market-Specific Formula Expertise

Different markets demand different detergent formulations. Our global export experience gives us deep insight into regional requirements.

🌍

Africa & Middle East

High-foam formulas for hand washing, strong fragrances, high-active-matter for hard water, economical bulk packaging.

🌏

Southeast Asia

Medium-foam formulas, tropical fragrances, humidity-resistant packaging, affordable small sachets for daily use.

🌎

Latin America

Balanced foam for top-load machines, fresh fragrances, phosphate-free options for regulated markets.

🏰

Europe

Low-foam HE-compatible formulas, phosphate-free, biodegradable surfactants, EU regulation compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you develop a custom detergent formula for my specific market?

Yes. Our R&D team develops custom detergent formulas tailored to your target market's water hardness, climate conditions, consumer preferences (foam level, fragrance), and regulatory requirements. We have experience formulating for markets in Asia, Africa, Middle East, Latin America, and Europe.

How long does custom formula development take?

Custom detergent formula development typically takes 7-15 days for initial samples, depending on complexity. Simple modifications to existing formulas take 5-7 days. Completely new formulations from scratch may take 10-15 days for the first sample.

What detergent parameters can you customize?

We customize: active matter content (4%-30%+ for powder, 5%-40%+ for liquids), bulk density (280-1000 g/L), foam level (high/medium/low/non-foam), pH value, fragrance, color, viscosity, enzyme packages (protease, lipase, amylase, cellulase), bleach agents, water softeners, and special features like color protection or antibacterial properties. Need specifications outside these ranges? Our R&D team can develop custom solutions for your unique technical requirements.

Do you provide eco-friendly or phosphate-free detergent formulas?

Yes. We develop phosphate-free, biodegradable, and eco-friendly detergent formulas using plant-based surfactants and sustainable ingredients. These formulas meet environmental regulations in Europe, North America, and other markets with strict requirements.

Can you match an existing detergent formula?

Yes. Provide us with a sample of the product you want to match, and our R&D team will analyze and develop a comparable detergent formulation. We can match cleaning performance, fragrance, foam level, density, and physical properties.

Is my custom formula kept confidential?

Absolutely. We sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) before beginning any formula development. Your custom formulas are your intellectual property and are kept strictly confidential. We never reuse or share client-specific formulations.
