i am in manufacturing now but i dont manufacture household. no margin.

my production manager is from colgate and palmolive, my operations manager is from PAOS and 1 of my heads of department from Bodybasixs my senior chemist is from UNZA and my junior chemists are from all over.

what detergent u doing ? formaldehyde based ? or essential oil based ? premium or cheapo stuff ? if formaldehyde then u slowly eat yourself. gonna ban liao. if paraben also , i wish u good luck. isobutylparaben the main essential already banned in 2 countries. your preservative left back with very little choices jor.

Added on December 5, 2012, 7:30 pmbut honestly if u want a much smaller scale chemical company, i actually have a few to recommend. reliable, but price wise, because smaller bulk, expect to ......pay a bit more lah. its for convinience purposes. i'm not about to buy 25kg of EDTA when i only use 2kg for the whole fking year. Same goes for fragrance house.

anyway i dont use them , but i do keep as alternative, as a different source for a different opinion and rainy days kinda thing.
packaging wise and carton suppliers u need ?

The detergent is under testing progress lo...is cheapo stuff la... the book ada cakap use benzoic acid as preservative...not isobutylparaben ...ok or not??

it is really appreciate if you would like to let me know any other smaller scale punya companies....coz i only need few kgs for each item..thankiuuu

benzoic acid not strong enough against yeast and mould.
biguanide is similar but just slightly better and also alot pricier.

ask your chemist to try glycerin based preservatives. that would help. you will need to combo the glycerin with something else and then use emulsifier to solubilize it.

i'll try to get u the chemical companies name later in the evening. need time to dig up the name cards.

hi, please advise quantity and chemical . thank you.

i think he answered the question already. quantity referral should be about 1-2kg for lab purpose and formulation. normally amount like these are provided free.
are u working in a personal care chemical distribution company ? i might add u to my alternate suppliers listing if u are.
