Shorty makes a good explanation of how Releasit works. Here is a simple explanation. Everything on the one hand is matched by encap polymer on the other hand. There is a careful balance to the formulations. For all of the surfactant/detergent ingredients in the formula there is also an equal amount of polymer. Everything on the detergent side is balanced on the polymer side; so you can never get a detergent buildup with Releasit. It's a tight wire walk. Balancing the polymer with the other ingredients requires finesses from a chemical formulators perspective. Getting this balance just right drove our chemist crazy, but I wouldn't settle till we had a product that was solid on the cleaning side of the equation, yet also exhibited excellent crystallization. This is why the products work so well. They are TRUE encap products. A lot of so called encap products in the industry contain little or no polymer, and their performance reflects that. Polymer isn't cheap, in fact it's the most costly part of the formula. Soap is cheap. I guess that is why so many companies come up short on the use of polymers in their "encap" products.
