Calamide® C has exceptional foam stability and viscosity building characteristics in liquid detergents, shampoos, heavy-duty and all-purpose cleaners. Calamide® C in combination with Calsoft® sulfonates produce high stable suds mild enough for fine washables, yet efficient enough to cut grease on dishes. Calamide® C acts as a viscosity builder and also contributes detergency in heavy duty cleaners. Calamide® C is an excellent emulsifier for degreasing. It can be used as a lubricant and a rust preventative for metal cleaning and cooling systems and as a detergent and solubilizer for washing floors, walls, and hard surfaces.
