Industrial & Institutional Cleaning

The development of innovative, yet cost-effective, new cleaning products is vital in industrial and institutional applications in order to keep abreast of the constantly developing cleaning technologies. Also the compliance with demanding industry standards and regulations depends largely on high performance products that are able to meet these specific requirements. 

We are a leading manufacturer of specialty chemical ingredients, with a portfolio including: proteins and derivatives, surfactants, sarcosinates, lanolin derivatives, rheology modifiers and other bio-based performance additives.

At a time of rapid advances in technology and cleaning products being more heavily regulated, we can help you develop formulations to innovate and adjust faster. In addition to offering the desired performance benefits to a wide range of formulations, our products can optimise cleaning efficiency and improve the overall environmental profile of formulations.

Innovative and Efficient Cleaning Technologies

We understand that cleaning on an industrial scale, such as in airports, hotels, hospitals and factories requires powerful, efficient and cost-effective ingredients. However, each application has very specific challenges and requirements, so our mission is to work with you in order to solve these challenges with our products.

Clean, white and freshly scented sheets are synonymous with good quality in first-rate hotels, but the maintenance of these high standards in a cost-effective manner, can be a difficult task. Our latest soil release and anti-redeposition technologies, for use with polyester and other woven fabrics, offer outstanding results. This means easier cleaning time after time, with fabrics looking better and lasting longer after washing.

In certain hard surface cleaning and dishwash applications foam can be a big issue, with excess foam hindering cleaning performance and even leading to downtime in industrial facilities. Controlling or eliminating foam in a formulation can reduce the residues left behind, improve the overall cleaning process and mean less rinsing will be required. We have a large range of surfactants that can be tailored to your needs for foam control.

Modern vehicle cleaners need to be strong, with the grease and dirt that gets built up, but must also be environmentally friendly. We offer safe and effective solvents and degreasing agents as alternatives to conventional industrial solvents, with equal performance characteristics to many organic solvents and excellent environmental credentials, such as - low toxicity in water, biodegradable and non-VOC.

In equipment cleaning applications for the food and beverage industry, there are a lot of highly demanding and varied requirements depending on the parts to be treated. Not only are the cleaning results important in this category, but also the maintenance of both the equipment and the food products. We can offer many safe solutions for the formulation of products in this industry, including CIP (Clean-in-place), bottle washing and other applications.
