Solutions for the Household Industrial & Institutional Industry

TLC Ingredients has partnered with top chemical manufacturers to help our customers improve the performance of products used for household, industrial and institutional (H, I & I) cleaning.
We have a broad mix of high quality chemicals for customers making:

  • Soaps and detergents

  • Laundry and autodish

  • Acid and caustic-based cleaners

  • Hard surface cleaners and disinfectants

  • ADM’s Bio-based Propylene Glycol enjoys a more stable cost position, due to its crop-derived raw material source. Their PG production process results in a 61% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), compared to petroleum-based Propylene Glycol.


  • We work closely with Surfactant manufacturers to provide “friendlier” alternatives to petrochemical-derived surfactants, many of which are derived from sustainable Oleochemicals or Fatty Alcohols. Alkyl Polyglucosides and APG’s are also experiencing increased usage in many H I & I applications.


  • Ivanhoe Industries helps customers formulate products with their emulsifiers based on vegetable-derived Sorbitol and Glycerin, as well as non-Silicone defoamers derived from vegetable oils.
