Ethylan TB345 is set to be launched this week at the American Cleaning Institute’s Annual Meeting and Industry Convention in Orlando, Florida, US.
Stuart Holt, Global Technical Marketing Manager Cleaning at Nouryon, said: “Foam can be a big problem in certain household and industrial cleaning operations, with consequences ranging from reduced cleaning performance to downtime of production processes. Ethylan TB345 defoamer is an excellent alternative to what is currently on the market while being inherently biodegradable, non-persistent and label-free. We have already received very positive feedback from target customers.”
AB Ghosh, Managing Director Surface Chemistry at Nouryon, added: “This innovative new product reflects our focus on supporting our customers’ desire for better performing solutions that do not come at the expense of the environment. It also extends our cleaning portfolio and opens up more opportunities for sustainable growth.”
Nouryon recently expanded its offering to customers in the detergents market with bio-based polymers with chelating properties. The company is currently expanding the production of biodegradable chelates in Europe and recently completed a major expansion at its surfactants facility in China, enabling the company to better serve customers in Asia and other regions around the world.
