SIMPLE FORMULATIONS PERFORMANCE DATA

Formulating with Noverite AD 810 polymer is simple. It is suitable The capability to sequester and chelate calcium and other ions
for the growing unit-dose market, as well as, traditional powder in hard water is key to delivering superior anti-filming and anti-

with sodium citrate builder can cost-effectively outperform other Noverite AD 810 polymer technology efficiently chelates calcium
small molecule builders like methyglycinediacetic acid (MGDA) ions and brings an added benefit of calcium carbonate crystal
and glutamic acid diacetic acid (GLDA). The unique polymer growth modification and soil anti-redeposition compared with
