Patented formulation addresses unique cleaning and sustainability
needs of industrial laundries
ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Ecolab introduces the Performance™ Industrial Program, which addresses
the high-performance cleaning needs of industrial laundries while
helping to minimize environmental impact.
To improve operational sustainability and align with EPA efforts to
promote alternative ingredients, many healthcare and hospitality
laundries have reduced or eliminated the use of formulations with
ingredients such as Nonylphenol and Nonylphenol Ethoxylates (NPEs).
Given their extraordinary cleaning challenges, industrial laundries have
found it challenging to find effective, NPE-free alternatives.
The Performance Industrial Program is a three-product system that uses
patented NPE-free chemistry to effectively remove the heaviest
industrial soil—and to meet growing industry expectations for
sustainable operations.
"The Ecolab Performance Industrial Program redefines industrial-strength
cleaning for today's efficiency-driven, sustainability-minded era," said
Mike Johannsen, Ecolab's senior vice president and general manager,
Global Textile Care. "Ecolab has spent years developing the next
generation of high-performance sustainable chemistry as part of our
ongoing effort to deliver the solutions textile services operators need."
The program's distinctive blend of surfactants, conditioner and soil
suspension agents effectively removes petroleum, oil and grease and
delivers an exceptional level of whiteness. Currently in use with
multiple industrial laundries, the Performance Industrial Program
delivers soil removal and whiteness results comparable to detergents
using NPE chemistry.
In addition to its enhanced cleaning performance and more sustainable
formulation, the Performance Industrial Program delivers operational
savings to industrial laundries through first-pass cleaning and easier
rinsing; shortening wash cycles, reducing rinse steps and helping
customers to conserve water and energy. The program is projected to save
one industrial laundry customer three million gallons of water a year.
