Health & Hygiene: Supporting Care Where It Matters Most
During large, global events and tournaments, millions of people come together: on the field, in stadiums, and across shared spaces worldwide. While these moments are defined by passion and excitement, they also bring increased demand for effective wound care, hygiene, and sanitation solutions.
In these environments, formulations must deliver reliable cleansing performance while remaining gentle and safe for sensitive applications, particularly in wound care. This is where chemistry plays a critical role behind the scenes.
How BASF Industrial Formulators solutions support wound care formulations
At BASF Industrial Formulators, Pluronic® EO–PO block copolymers provide a versatile and effective solution for both wound care and hygiene applications. Their unique structure, combining hydrophilic ethylene oxide (EO) and hydrophobic propylene oxide (PO) blocks, enables a balance of performance and mildness. Pluronic® surfactants support formulations by:
- Acting as mild, low-foaming nonionic surfactants, suitable for sensitive applications
- Providing effective wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties, helping remove contaminants and residues
- Offering broad compatibility and formulation flexibility, enabling use across different hygiene and care systems
- Supporting low irritation potential, making them well-suited for applications involving skin contact
By using Pluronic® EO–PO block copolymers, customers can formulate wound care and hygiene solutions that deliver effective cleansing with a high level of mildness. This supports safe, reliable performance in sensitive applications, offering formulation flexibility and consistent results in environments where comfort, care, and trust are essential.
