China Research Institute of Daily Chemicals Industry
China Research Institute of Daily Chemical Industry (RIDCI), formerly founded in 1930 as the Central Industrial Laboratory, is the earliest professional institution engaged in the research and development of surfactants and detergents, and the only national scientific research institution in the industry and the most complete research institution in the fields of surfactant and detergent in China. After 90 years of development, RIDCI has developed into a modern scientific and technological enterprise integrating scientific research and engineering technology development, analysis- testing methods and standardization produce, information and market investigation, engineering design and consultation, industrialization demonstration and postgraduate training.
The main business of the Institute is scientific and technological development in surfactant and detergent industry, high-value services, technology transfer, analysis and testing, cosmetic efficacy evaluation. As the main source of major key technologies of Chinese surfactant industry, more than half of the industrial technologies for the prime surfactants in China are derived from the scientific research achievements of RIDCI. Several green surfactants’ technology has achieved international advanced level. Relying on daily chemical core raw materials, formula technology, standard formulation, efficacy evaluation advantages, RIDCI developed a series of cosmetics, skin care products, household antibacterial cleaning products, leading the new trends of life beautification by clean technology.
