What it is and what it does. Tea seed powder is the traditional natural degreaser used in the polishing and pre-plating stages of zipper and hardware manufacture. Its saponin content emulsifies polishing compound and wax so that parts come out clean enough to plate.
- Pale brown to tan fine powder, saponin content normally 12-15%; a natural, readily biodegradable product.
- Used in rotating barrels to remove polishing wax and compound from zipper sliders and other small hardware.
- A traditional material that still competes on cost with modern industrial cleaners in barrel processes.

Buying questions we answer most
Is the SDS available before we order?
Yes. SDS and COA are issued per lot. Tell us the destination country so the SDS is supplied in the required format and language.
Can we get a trial quantity first?
Yes. Trial packs are quoted separately and shipped with the analytical method, so your lab can verify the material against the current bath before switching.
What packing and shelf life should we expect?
Standard export packing in drums or jerry cans with inner liner. Shelf life depends on the product - typically 12 months in a closed container, stored away from heat and direct sunlight.
How is it shipped - is it dangerous goods?
Some products are classed as dangerous goods and need the correct UN packing and documentation. We confirm the classification and the shipping route before quoting freight.
Can you match a competitor's additive?
Send the TDS and a bath sample. We compare the operating window and analytical method, then run a Hull cell panel before recommending a replacement.
