At home, glass surfaces can be found practically everywhere – from windows to mirrors to the oven door. Cleaning them is supposed to be a quick affair with a streak-free finish. If desired, the cleaning agent can provide specific properties such as antistatic or anti-fogging effects.
A foaming glass cleaner can be applied specifically to the dirty area and prevents the formation of aerosols. Surfactants help to adjust the appropriate foam volume of the cleaner.
If foam is not desired, low-foaming surfactants can be used in glass cleaners.
Removing grease and fats from glass surfaces without leaving streaks is not an easy task. Surfactants that are effective wetting and cleaning agents at lowest concentrations and work synergistically together with solvents like alcohols are the perfect solution to this problem.
In glass cleaners, it is crucial to use surfactants that are capable of wetting dirty surfaces very effectively at lowest concentrations.
Everyone knows fogged glass surfaces and mirrors in the bathroom. Fogging can be prevented by using a combination of special surfactants and polymers in glass cleaners.
Static charges on glass and plastic surfaces may attract dust and accelerate re-soiling after cleaning. Surfactants with antistatic properties prevent static charges on surfaces.
