Course Overview
A science led course for formulators, regulatory teams, and brand innovators.
This course gives professionals a clear and practical understanding of concentrated and waterless cleaners and disinfectants. It blends formulation science, regulatory strategy, sustainability drivers, and real case studies to help you design products that are effective, stable, compliant, and commercially competitive.
Why This Category Matters
Multi-purpose cleaners and disinfectants remove soils and organic matter while destroying or inactivating microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Market growth is driven by rising expectations around infection control, sustainability, and convenience, with concentrated and waterless formats offering reduced packaging, lower transport emissions, and improved stability.
What the Course Covers
- Active technologies such as quats, hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, alcohols, and enzymes, each with unique performance and compatibility profiles.
- Functional excipients including surfactants, solvents, chelates, stabilisers, and rheology modifiers, and how they shape cleaning power, stability, and user experience.
- Concentrated and waterless formats, from high actives liquids to bars, powders, tablets, gels, and ultra concentrates, with a focus on solubility, activation, stability, and texture.
- Ingredient interactions and stability, including surfactant active incompatibilities, oxidiser stability, enzyme protection, and pH control.
- Claims and regulatory frameworks, including Detergents Regulation, Biocidal Products Regulation, CLP, REACH, EPA, and the rules governing permitted and prohibited claims.
- Scale up and manufacturing, covering raw material consistency, in process.
- Real Case Studies Participants analyse real world examples.
