Traditional aerosol cleaners

Benefits• Hermetically sealed – no spillage or

evaporation, tamper resistant

• Delivery system allows better control of product being appliedThe right amount in the right form at the right

spot

• Ease of use – preferred by consumers and end users

The role of solvents in aerosol cleaners

Hold the formulation togetherCouple active ingredients into solution with

the propellant

Help produce a spray with the appropriate particle size

Improve the performance and safety profile of the cleaner• A new generation of sustainable solvents

are changing the game…….

Solvent selection considerations

Solvent type• Hydrocarbon or oxygenated

Health, safety and environmental issues Performance

• Type of soil to be removed Hanson solubility parameters “Like dissolves like”

• Substrate to be cleaned

• Physical properties Surface tension, boiling point, evaporation rate, etc.

Customer preferences or limitations

What if a solvent could….

Help provide high performance cleaners without concern for health, safety, and toxicity?

• GHS labeling benefits

• CleanGredients®, EPA SCIL approved listings

• CARB and EPA LVP exemption

Help you formulate highly effective cleaners for a broad range of soils at a lower overall cost than you do today?

Help your customers experience real, tangible benefits from using these cleaning products?

• Faster cleaning times

• More noticeable “clean”; more satisfied, repeat customers

• More worker satisfaction; less worker turnover (I&I)

• Safer environment during cleaning

“Finally prove that “green” really can clean as well – or better than - alkaline and acidic formulations?Would that change the way you think about

solvents?

Dilution Ratio

The higher the dilution ratio, the better the solvent is at holding soils in solution

Omnia can maintain a higher loading of organic polymer and oily hydrocarbon suspended in water better than most other commonly used solvents

Dilution ratio is the volume of solvent that can be added to hydrocarbon solvent before the nitrocellulose polymer precipitates (ASTM test)

Formulating with OmniaLower surface tension equals more efficient cleaning

12

Low amounts of Omnia have been shown to dramatically lower the surface tension of water

Lower surface tension = better wetting of soils, surfaces for more efficient cleaning

May be able to formulate with less expensive surfactants while maintaining or improving cleaning efficiency
