From Grey to Gleam: Evonik’s REWOQUAT® CQ AL200 Rewrites Hotel Linen Laundry

In the 24-hour rhythm of a busy hotel, a spotless sheet is the first promise you make to every guest.  Yet kitchen grease, massage oils and spilled cocktails bury themselves deep into cotton fibres, turning brilliant whites dull and stiff.

Our answer: REWOQUAT® CQ AL200, the German-engineered, readily biodegradable surfactant blend that strips out the grime and gives the fabric—and your guest experience—its original softness back.

Why CQ AL200 outwashes the rest

1.  Triple-action muscle – degreasing, emulsifying and penetrating in one molecule.

2.  Works at 20 °C – no boiler, no extra energy, no special dosing pumps.

3.  Extreme pH tolerance – compatible with anionic, non-ionic or cationic co-surfactants;  formulate acid or alkaline powders, liquids or sachets.

4.  Planet-proof – >60 % biodegradability (OECD 301) helps properties hit ESG and green-certificate targets.

5.  Safe on colour – keeps embroidered logos, spa towels and duvet piping vivid wash after wash.

Typical dosage: 0.3–1.0 g L⁻¹ in the main wash delivers visible stain lift within 5 min contact;  boost with builder for heavily soiled banquet linen.

Bottom line

Switching to REWOQUAT® CQ AL200 cuts rewashes, water, energy and chemical costs—while giving every guest that “first-night” crispness that turns into a five-star review.
