In today’s competitive market, companies are constantly looking for ways to optimize their processes and reduce costs without compromising product quality. In this context, Macler presents the latest figures for Isogen E-TEC, an innovative solution that has reduced disinfectant formulation costs by up to 36%, boosting its customers’ profitability. 

Reducing costs in disinfectant formulations is often a very complicated task. A responsible formulator cannot compromise on the concentration of the active ingredient in order to ensure bactericidal efficacy. Furthermore, reducing the fragrance concentration can affect the consumer’s sensory experience, giving the impression that the product is “weak.”

Thus, the only way to reduce the cost of the formulation is through the fragrance emulsifier, which is usually ethoxylated nonylphenol—a cheap commodity that is controversial due to its environmental impacts, as discussed in this article. 

Given this situation, Macler realized that the only way to address this challenge would be to focus its efforts on a technology that would make the emulsifier much more efficient, thereby reducing the dosage required and ensuring lower application costs.

It was with this approach that Isogen E-TEC was developed - a fragrance emulsifier for disinfectants and cleaners that serves as a substitute for nonylphenol and ethoxylated fatty alcohols, the most traditional emulsifiers for this type of formulation. 

Although ethoxylated fatty alcohols do ensure a more sustainable formulation, they result in higher costs compared to ethoxylated nonylphenol, as their price per kilogram is higher and they generally require a higher dosage.

In contrast, with Isogen E-TEC, Macler has managed to combine sustainability and cost-effectiveness in a single solution. Not only does the product require a lower dosage, but its price per kilogram is also lower than that of nonylphenol ethoxylate.

Significant Cost Reduction 

In recent months, Macler has been monitoring projects by various customers who have managed to reduce the costs of their disinfectant formulations by up to 36%. These savings stem from the lower dosage required compared to conventional emulsifiers, combined with the product’s competitive price.

The table below shows the percentage reduction in monthly costs for seven clients, with an average reduction of 28%. 

Unbeatable Performance: 

More than just reducing costs, Isogen E-TEC guarantees superior performance. It maintains levels of active ingredients, fragrance, and colorants, while promoting formulation stability, without compromising product quality. This performance is demonstrated in this comparative study of fragrance emulsions, which compared nonylphenol, ethoxylated fatty alcohol, and Isogen E-TEC.
