  Other products can also be recommended, such as: MONTALINE™ C40 for its speci c sanitizing sanitiz and thickening properties SOLAGUM™ USPI: thickener for fragrances and essential oils, resistant to the texturing agent H2O2 AMONYL™ 380 BA: amphoteric surfactant, ECOCERT certi ed betaine, stabilization and production of a ne foam with purifying properties in acidic media.

Indoor and outdoor surface cleaning Household, industrial and institutional cleaners (HI&I) are intended for the routine cleaning of o ces, public venues, warehouses, and industrial installations, including private residences. Demand is growing for products that are e cient, environmentally friendly, and less labor-intensive. All surfaces can be cleaned and treated all safely: Metals: aluminium-based alloys, stainless steels, copper-based alloys, silver, gold, titanium, magnesium, etc. Plastic (polyurethanes, acrylics, ABS, polycarbonates, PMMA) Wood Leather Fabric and textile Paint and varnish Ceramic and marble, etc.

SIMULSOL™ SL The SIMULSOL™ SL range is effective regardless of the quality of the surface to be cleaned and treated or the nature of the pollutants. See properties above

SOLAGUM™ The SOLAGUM™ range is composed of rheology modi ers from various sources, mixtures of either polyacrylamides or natural polymers. The products are anionic and have emulsifying properties. To form a microemulsion gel, they require only a cold process: stirring with a high shear mixer, possible introduction of different raw materials depending on each targeted application, with long-term stability guaranteed.

Sanitary cleaners SEPPIC recommends the SIMULSOL™ SL, AMONYL™ and SOLAGUM™ ranges. For routine maintenance cleaning of washable surfaces, acid-sensitive surfaces such as limestone, marble, clinker brick, aluminium, etc. Present in bathrooms, showers, washrooms and toilets, ts or aluminium, etc. For the formulation of various products used in routine cleaning of surfaces/washable equipment that are acid resistant (bathroom porcelain, ttings, ceramic tiles, bathrooms, showers, washrooms, toilets, etc.).

SIMULSOL™ See properties above

AMONYL™ AMONYL™ 380 BA is a betaine that provides a ne foam which is stable over time and which stabilizes and activates the foam of the anionic surfactants AMONYL™ 675 SB offers good substantivity at pH acid values and is easy to thicken with SOLAGUM™ AX MONTALINE™ C40 for its speci c cleansing, thickening, and sanitiz sanitizing properties, compatible with anionic salts

Both products are sulfate-free.

SOLAGUM™ The rheology modi ers SOLAGUM™ AX are formulated with a mixture of natural polymers derived from acacia and xanthan gums which can be used at room temperature. They exhibit good acid resistance and good compatibility with benzalkonium salts.

Sanitizers for surface disinfection Sanitiz SEPPIC recommends: SIMULSOL™ SL line AMONYL™ line MONTALINE C40 SOLAGUM™ AX

Environmental surfaces contribute to the contamination of nursing staff through hand with contaminated surfaces, medical equipment, or patients. Effective cleaning must be carried out before sanitation. It is often carried out with detergent, water, and scrubbing agitation, the visible dirt and the detergent being rinsed and removed with clean water. Detergents are chemicals that remove dirt and grease. However, they do not eliminate bacteria and other microorganisms. Sanitation is required for this purpose. The term sanitary refers to the state of a food surface or utensil that does not contain microorganisms at a rate that allows the transmission of infectious diseases or compromises food safety. Sanitiz Sanitizers are products that can destroy microorganisms, including bacteria and viruses. One or more of the following products is used to disinfect and sanitize sanitiz surfaces: Disinfecting wipe Sanitizing wipe for food Sanitiz Liquid concentrate disinfectant Liquid concentrate sanitiz sanitizer for food Ready-to-use liquid disinfect Ready-to-use liquid sanitiz sanitizer for food Ready-to-use cleaner (not anti-bacterial), which may include window cleaners. SIMULSOL™ SL facilitates the rapid destruction of bacteria and/or viruses. See the properties of SIMULSOL™ SL above.

Hand and machine dishwashing Formulations of detergents for hand dishwashing Detergents for hand dishwashing use foaming surfactants such as available long-chain alkyl polyglucosides (SIMULSOL™ SL) combined with betaines (AMONYL™) playing the primary role in loosening and emulsifying all kinds of grease. They lower the surface tension of the dishwashing water, letting the water drain on the dishes. These products also cut down on skin irritation. Selection of long-chain alkylpolyglucosides: SIMULSOL™ SL and AMONYL™

 

Main applications

SIMULSOL™ SL 11 W High wetting power for reinforce the spreading and penetration SIMULSOL™ SL 4

Low foaming, co-solvent and/or co-surfactant, viscosity reducer

SIMULSOL™ SL 7 G

Low foaming, green hydrotrope and booster of formulations

SIMULSOL™ SL 8

High foaming, solubilizer for fungicide and insecticide and detergency

SIMULSOL™ SL 10

High foaming, good degreaser

SIMULSOL™ SL 26 C

High foaming with strong emulsifying properties

  AMONYL™ 380 BA is a betaine that offers a ne foam which is stable over time and which stabilizes and activates the foam of the anionic surfactants The sulfobetaine AMONYL™ 675 SB offers good substantivity at acidic pH values, recommended for rinsing products, easy to thicken using SOLAGUM™ AX.

Both are sulfate-free.

Formulations of detergents for automatic dishwashers Automatic dishwashing includes the use of a dishwasher or a rack conveyor dishwashing system with a reduced dose of product often provided by a peristaltic pump. Cleaning is performed using a highly concentrated mixture of low foaming surfactants, generally with a high concentration of alkali salts. The short-chain alkyl polyglucoside SIMULSOL™ SL is highly recommended and makes it possible to accept a high concentration of alkali salts without separation. La gamme d'alkylpolyglucosides à courte chaîne SIMULSOL™ SL est vivement recommandée, et permet d'accepter une concentration élevée de sels alcalins sans séparation.

Basic oor care The principal reasons for oor cleaning are: To remove stains, dirt litter and obstructions. To remove grit and sand which scratch and wear down the oor. To remove allergens (mites), in particular ne dust. To prevent wear to the surface (e.g. by using a oor wax) To make the environment sanitary (e.g. in kitchens). To beautify the oor. To protect environment by using eco friendly surfactants The treatment needed for different types of oors is different according to each nature of oor. SEPPIC products have advantages in of “Ecolabel“ approach. They are adapted to a wide variety of oor cleaning machines such as oor buffers, automatic oor scrubbers and sweepers, and carpet extractors that can deep clean almost any type of hard oor or carpeted ooring, allow time saving and use less water.
