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.

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

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 contact 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 contact 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 contact
Sanitiz
Liquid concentrate disinfectant
Liquid concentrate sanitiz
sanitizer for food contact
Ready-to-use liquid disinfect
Ready-to-use liquid sanitiz
sanitizer for food contact
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.

Anti Gra ti Removers

Anti Gra ti Removers formulated with SEPPIC products activate penetration inside the gra ti and enhance the
chemical fracture of the molecular bonds in paints, markers, etc. They are used to formulate nished products
who are not containing usual chlorinated solvents combined with methanol or other aromatic solvents, with a
“green” approach for maximum consumer safety.

Rheology modi ers coupled with a green surfactant like SIMULSOL SL 11 W can be used to improve
formulations in terms of “green” standards and e cacy.

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 terms 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.
