The complete raw material toolkit for cleaning formulations

RawSource supplies the full range of cleaning raw materials — anionic and nonionic surfactants, alkaline builders, chelants, glycol ether solvents, silicone defoamers, and sanitizer actives — to formulators and contract manufacturers producing laundry, hard surface, dishwash, and institutional cleaning products.

Every material ships with verified CAS numbers, SDS, TDS, and COA documentation. We supply key lines including silicone defoamers and SLES/LAS surfactants, with global sourcing for specialty inputs across all 12 cleaning chemistry categories.

Jump straight to the chemistry you need — each guide explains the types, how to select, and routes you to the specific grades we supply.

Surfactancy / Detergency
Match anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactant classes to each cleaning job — foaming hard-surface, low-foam recirculating CIP, and heavy-duty degreasing — by detergency, foam profile, and hard-water tolerance.
Explore →
Solvency / Degreasing
Select degreasing solvents by Kauri-Butanol value, flash point, evaporation rate, and VOC/HAP constraints across glycol ethers, terpenes, esters, and carbonates for parts washing and hard-surface cleaning.
Explore →
Chelation / Sequestrants
Choose sequestrants (EDTA, GLDA, citrate, HEDP, NTA) to bind calcium and magnesium hardness, stabilize actives, and control scale/deposit in alkaline and acidic cleaner systems.
Explore →
Defoaming
Control foam in recirculating CIP loops, mechanical warewash, and high-pressure spray cleaning; compare silicone versus non-silicone, free-rinsing suppressants for cavitation-free pump operation.
Explore →
Corrosion Inhibition
Protect ferrous, aluminum, and soft-metal substrates and process equipment in alkaline degreasers and acid descalers using azole, borate, and alkanolamine-phosphate inhibitor packages.
Explore →
pH-Adjustment / Alkalinity Builders
Use alkanolamines (MEA, TEA, MIPA) for alkaline buffering, oil and grease emulsification, and pH boosting in concentrated degreasers and hard-surface cleaner concentrates.
Explore →
Thickening / Rheology
Build viscosity and vertical cling for gel bleaches, spray cleaners, and acid toilet-bowl/descaler formulas using amine-oxide/associative thickeners, fumed silica, and crosslinked polyacrylates.
