We want to empower everyone to feel more confident with the cleaning products they have chosen to use in their homes. After all, you have a right not only to know what’s in your products, but to understand those ingredients. That’s why this is the third in a series of posts focusing on some cleaning product ingredient functions you may be less familiar with. Let’s dive in!
Tablet Disintegrant: When something disintegrates, it breaks down. A tablet disintegrant, then, is an ingredient that helps aid in the dissolving of product — aka the cleaning tablet. Once the tablet is placed in the presence of a liquid such as water, the disintegrant helps dissolve the tablet so that the cleaning magic can happen!
Denaturant: Have you seen this word before? If so, it’s most likely with alcohol products intended for NON-consumption. In fact, that’s what it’s all about! Denaturants are ingredients added to alcohol to make it unfit for consumption. For example, they can be bad-tasting or foul-smelling to discourage use and ensure safety.
Propellant: When you “propel” something, you’re moving it in a particular direction. A related term, propellants – often found within aerosol cans – serve to function the same way for cleaning products. Propellants are pressurized ingredients that create a fine spray or foam. They help “propel” the cleaning solution where it’s needed!
