Ecolab COSA™ surfactant additives and boosters for pharmaceutical applications are highly concentrated cleaning agents designed to boost the performance of other cleaning solutions, giving an extra edge when cleaning specific soil targets such as sustained release coatings and sustained release polymers.

Common surfactant additives required in pharmaceutical manufacturing are boosters and oxidizers that are ideal for removal of high fat containing and water-free formulations. Most are created for use in alkaline detergents, but some can also be used with acid cleaners.

When selecting the right additive or booster, Ecolab creates solutions tailored to your specific application and soil type using coupon studies, taking the guesswork out of finding the right cleaning agents to achieve visual clean. Using a base cleaner plus a booster allows you to strike the right balance of cleaning efficacy while minimizing impacts to your equipment and effluent systems.
