The hand dishwash category may seem unchangeable. But new consumer insights and innovative formulations present a strong business opportunity for changing the hand dishwash market. Let your products take a leap forward.

Find the right solution for you

Dish

Rethink hand dishwash

Effectiveness and convenience, fast action and deep cleaning, hard on soils, gentle on hands. Get all that and more, with the power of enzymes.

What do consumers expect from hand dishwashing?

A natural, deep cleaning solution to improve performance on stubborn stains and to ensure hygiene for a cleaner, safer home environment.

Clean and green

A dishwashing solution so powerful, consumers do not have to use extra additives or time-consuming tricks to battle these complex stains.

Cut soaking time

Dishwashing made easier. With an enzymatic dishwashing solution, get better wash results with 50% less effort.

Cut scrubbing effort

High-performing dish detergents

As consumers become more environmentally conscious, many are choosing eco-mode dishwasher programs. This product boosts the soil-removal power of your formulation for high performance at these settings, even on highly soiled loads.

Performs well at eco-mode settings

Whether called fast, express, quick or rapid, short cycles are becoming a standard feature on automatic dishwashers. This fast-acting product has been developed for suitability to these cycles. That helps your detergents to give time-pressed consumers the speed and convenience they demand. It is also suited to the cooler cycles - below 45°C - that are becoming more popular with consumers.

Performs well in shorter and cooler cycles

Gels are highly concentrated formulations, which means they can present a challenge when formulating with enzymes. High pH levels and strong chelators can impact an enzyme's stability. This product has been developed for high stability, even in tough conditions.

Designed for tough conditions

Most food soils are multi-layered, with each element in the food forming a layer. That means an enzyme’s access to its target element can be ‘blocked’. By clearing paths through the soil’s layers for one another, the enzymes in this product boost one another’s impact. The result is high performance on even the toughest food soils.

Multi-enzyme

Enzymes are proteins and proteases break down proteins in a reaction that needs water. That means that in storage, proteases in liquid laundry detergents can break down other enzymes that have been added to the detergent. The result is reduced performance. This product’s proprietary protease inhibitor technology prevents this breakdown, so all the enzymes in your detergents can perform fully in the wash.

Stability for multi-enzyme detergents

Ecocert certified variant available

Enzymes are proteins and proteases break down proteins in a reaction that needs water. That means that in storage, proteases in automatic dishwash gel formulations can break down amylases that have also been added to the formulation. The result is reduced performance. We developed this product with Evity® protease inhibitor technology to prevent this breakdown, so all the enzymes in your detergents can perform fully in the wash.

Benefits

Some of the toughest food soils contain a mix of protein and starch, including cheese sauces and pasta dishes like lasagna and spaghetti bolognese. Intensa® Core 200 L targets them with a blend of protease and amylase enzymes. By breaking down the protein and starch in these soils, Intensa® Core 200 L makes them easier to lift away from tableware and cookware.

Intensa® Core 200 L is effective on tableware and cookware with a high level of mixed starch soiling, giving great results even in detergents with high water levels.

Details

This product contains enzymes. While enzymes are safe to use in consumer applications, they need correct handling in working environments to ensure workers’ safety.

Indeed, repeated inhalation of enzyme dust or aerosols resulting from improper handling may induce sensitization and may cause allergic type 1 reactions in sensitized individuals.

Please follow the precautionary handling recommendations below:

Product features, details and benefits

Liquid

Multi-enzyme blend

Intensa® Base-1

Intensa® Core 200 L ADW

Many hand dishwash detergents contain chelators to soften water and help with soil removal. Unfortunately, strong chelators can also remove the calcium ions that are crucial to an enzyme&#039;s structural stability. This product has been developed for compatibility with strong chelators.

Stable in the presence of strong chelators

Some hand dishwash formulations contain a lot of water and this can reduce the stability of certain enzymes. As enzymes lose their stability, they become less effective. This product has been developed for stability and consistent performance in formulations with high water content.

Stable in water-rich formulations
