MYKON Bleach activators

Warwick International is the world leader in bleach activator technology for detergent applications and markets the MYKON™ bleach activators based on tetra acetyl ethylene diamine (TAED).

Our team dedicated to serving the global household product manufacturing industry includes sales and customer service backed up by scientists working from our fully equipped performance evaluation, agglomeration/granulate development and research and development laboratories, which include in-house detergent test facilities.

Over the past 20 years, wash temperatures in Europe have been reduced to 40°C and wash cycle times have been shortened driven by the need for energy and water conservation, the use of more synthetic fabric blends and greater use of coloured textiles.

In many parts of the world, wash temperatures in the range 20 to 40°C are now common, with cycle times as short as 15 minutes.

In addition, consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the need for good home hygiene. At low temperatures where there is no thermal disinfection this provides an additional challenge for the detergent formulator.

 
MYKON™ bleach activators based on TAED are multifunctional ingredients used in a variety of detergent applications. They are used as part of the bleach system in a detergent formulation with a peroxygen source, e.g. sodium perborate and sodium percarbonate to provide:

 

Bleach activation at low temperatures
Effective biocidal activators

Typical use includes:
Domestic laundry detergents
Automatic dishwashing
Bleach boosters
Laundry soak treatments

Industrial and institutional laundry - although MYKON™ products are suitable for general laundry needs, for specific biocidal requirements we recommend the WARWICK B Series of products
