+ Alkali
- Sodium Metasilicate
- NaOH 50%
- Soda Ash
+ Chelant
- Versene 100: Strongest, most versatile, and widely used chelant for controlling metal ions over a broad pH range in aqueous systems. Versene 100 is stable under widely varying conditions of temperature, acidity, alkalinity and the presence of other chemicals.
- Versene 100XL: Manufactured to high purity specifications. Designed to limit impurities such as NTA (<1000ppm) and Glycolate.
+ Enzyme
- Amylase: Nature’s catalyst for breaking up starches in food stains.
+ Enzyme Stabilizers
- Calcium Chloride: Takes the edge off very strong chelants in concentrates.
- Propylene Glycol: Complexes Enzymes away from attack when in concentrate. Dispels on dilution.
- Sodium Borate: Complexes Enzymes away from attack when in concentrate. Doubles as formula builder.
- Zemea 1,3 PDO: Complexes Enzymes away from attack when in concentrate. Dispels on dilution.
- Glycerin
+ Polymer
- Acusol 820: Rheology modifier/stabilizer with unusually high aqueous thickening and stabilizing efficiency. Can thicken solutions containing high levels of surfactants at low pH.
- Acusol Pro: An anionically charged, water soluble polymer that enables the formulator to develop streak-free, hard surface cleaners that provide for superior grease removal, and make next-time cleaning easier, without contributing to build-up
- Mirapol Surf S110: Wide range pH polymer additive that aids in spot free rinse, easier cleaning, improved water sheeting and faster drying.
- Polyquart EcoClean: Naturally derived surface modification polymer, biodegradable. Anti re-soil benefits.
+ Solvent
- Met 10U: Extremely Versatile Stripping/Cleaning Solvent that rapidly deploys to surfaces. Emulsifies or couples.
- d-limonene: Legendary Degreasing Solvent, with some Stripping Properties. Emulsifies or couples.
- P series Glycol Ethers: Environmentally and Toxicologically Friendly Co-Solvents for Insolubles and Fragrances. Allows for Versatile Formulations on Varieties of Soils. Great Wetter.
+ Surfactant
- Bio-soft LFS-07: can often replace alkyl polyglucoside surfactants in cleaners due to its excellent low film/streak performance.
- Bio-soft DR-13: effective degreaser, wetting agent, and solubilize
- Ecosurf EH-6: Excellent wetting and hard surface cleaning; Low pour point / Narrow gel range; Faster dissolution time
- Ecosurf LFE-635: Excellent cleaning and degreasing of hard surfaces ; Markedly improved low foam performance
- Mirataine H2C HA: Compatible with anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants. Excellent choice for hard surface cleaners due to its stability in highly acidic and highly alkaline systems. Rinses freely without leaving a residue.
- NOVEL 810-4.5: Alcohol Ethoxylate. Emulsifier and wetting penetrant, exceptional oil and grease performance. HLB 10.5 Great handling. Low streak. Great rinser.
- Rhodapon OLS: Excellent wetting agent for hard surface cleaners which also aids in reduction of spotting and streaking.
