In industry, cleaning is very simple: it has to be quick and clean enough not to jeopardise production. Chemical and aggressive cleaning agents are often used to achieve the desired result. Environmental compatibility often falls victim to these overriding objectives. Another problem arises from the frequently high pH values: skin irritation and allergies can be the result.
Surfactants are needed to remove dirt and grease. They have a particularly cleaning-promoting molecular structure: on the one hand they attract water (hydrophilic) and on the other hand they attract grease (lipophilic). In this way, they infiltrate firmly adhering dirt and separate it from the surface. The dirt particles dissolve in the water and are rinsed off.
The latest generation of biosurfactants fulfils all expectations in an innovative and sustainable way: despite their powerful cleaning performance, they are so mild to the skin that they are even used in the cosmetics industry. They are also produced entirely naturally by microorganisms and are 100 % biodegradable.
We currently have two biosurfactant cleaners in our range.
