Tablet Disintegrant:<\/strong> When something disintegrates, it breaks down. A tablet disintegrant, then, is an ingredient that helps aid in the dissolving of product<\/em> — 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!<\/p>\n Denaturant:<\/strong> Have you seen this word before?\u00a0 If so, it\u2019s most likely with alcohol products intended for NON-consumption.\u00a0 In fact, that\u2019s what it\u2019s all about! Denaturants are ingredients added to alcohol to make it unfit for consumption<\/em>. For example, they can be bad-tasting or foul-smelling to discourage use and ensure safety.<\/p>\n Propellant:<\/strong> When you \u201cpropel\u201d something, you\u2019re moving it in a particular direction. A related term, propellants \u2013 often found within aerosol cans \u2013 serve to function the same way for cleaning products. Propellants are pressurized ingredients that create a fine spray or foam<\/em>. They help \u201cpropel\u201d the cleaning solution where it\u2019s needed!<\/p>\n Did you know about these ingredient functions in your products?
