Cost-in-use under control
Institutional cleaning is bought on cost-in-use, not list price. Our surfactants and thickeners give you options to concentrate the formula, and samples let you validate every adjustment before scaling it to production.
Market segment · Institutional & industrial
Professional cleaning is formulated, not improvised
Anyone formulating professional cleaning products in Colombia fights the same battle every day: cost per diluted liter against what the customer actually perceives while cleaning. Then come hard water that punishes the formula, raw materials whose availability shifts from one quarter to the next, and institutional buyers — hospitals, food plants, cleaning contractors — who demand documentary support for every input. In this business the margin is defended in the formula, not on the price list.
How we support you
What your operation needs, handled
For that trade we assembled a portfolio of 70 raw materials: surfactants, degreasers, biocides, chelating agents, thickeners, and pH regulators, from the economy all-purpose cleaner to the institutional-grade line. Every shipment leaves with the technical data sheet (TDS), the safety data sheet (SDS), and the batch certificate of analysis (CoA), and you can evaluate samples in your own lab before committing to a purchase. On the other end of WhatsApp is an advisor who understands cleaning chemistry — not a call center.
References that leave the market
A discontinued surfactant can stall an entire line. We help you evaluate substitutes with sound judgment: the manufacturer's data sheet, a sample for your lab, and an honest comparison of specifications — without promising equivalences the batch can't back up.
Audits that ask for paperwork
Your institutional customers audit what you buy. Every batch shipped travels with its safety data sheet (SDS) under the SGA (Colombia's GHS-aligned system), in Spanish, and its certificate of analysis (CoA), so your traceability holds up to the auditor's visit without last-minute emails.

Selection
Raw materials for institutional & industrial
Featured
Anionic Polyacrylamide
High-molecular-weight polymeric flocculant with an anionic charge, used as a coagulation aid in solid-liquid separation. It accelerates floc sedimentation and improves the clarity of treated water in combination with inorganic coagulants. Grade selection is carried out through testing according to the type of solid to be removed.
Industrial
Featured
Benzalkonium Chloride
Benzalkonium Chloride
Quaternary ammonium compound widely used as an active ingredient in disinfectant and sanitizing formulations for surfaces. It also provides cationic surfactant properties and an antistatic effect in the formula. Its use in disinfection is carried out in accordance with applicable health regulations.
Cleaning
Featured
Carbomer
Carbomer
Cross-linked acrylic polymer, the global standard for thickening and stabilizing gels and emulsions. Once neutralized, it produces transparent gels with a characteristic rheology, and it suspends particles and actives with great efficiency at low use levels.
Cosmetics
Featured
Caustic Soda
Sodium Hydroxide
Fundamental alkali of the cleaning industry: it saponifies fats, neutralizes sulfonic acids, and adjusts the pH of all kinds of formulas. It is the base of heavy-duty degreasers, drain openers, and CIP cleaners in the food industry. A high-turnover raw material in soap and detergent manufacturing.
Cleaning
Featured
Cocamidopropyl Betaine
Cocamidopropyl Betaine
Coconut-derived amphoteric surfactant, a cornerstone of mild cleansing formulas. It boosts and stabilizes foam, reduces the irritation potential of anionic surfactants, and adds viscosity to shampoos and liquid soaps.
Cosmetics
Featured
Cosmetic Talc
Talc
Classic mineral filler in color cosmetics, prized for its slip, softness, and ability to dilute pigments. It is the historical base of loose and pressed powders, blushes, and eyeshadows. It is sold in cosmetic grade with supporting documentation from the manufacturer for each batch.
Makeup
Featured
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose
Hydroxyethylcellulose
Nonionic, water-soluble cellulosic thickener, a standard in water-based architectural paints for viscosity control, water retention, and storage stability. It provides good leveling and spatter resistance during application. It is also used as a rheology modifier in gels and personal care products.
Industrial
Featured
Isopropyl Alcohol
Isopropyl Alcohol
Fast-evaporating polar solvent, widely used in surface cleaning, electronics, and industrial processes. It is the base of disinfectant formulations and equipment cleaning products due to its miscibility with water and low residue. It is also used as a diluent in inks and coatings.
