Performance

Cleaning Mechanism of Clean Move (stripping action):

Clean Move contains sodium percarbonate which reacts with a plant-based surface acting agent to separate and encapsulate dirt from the material to be washed, promoting degradation and deodorization and bleaching actions. Also, by preventing the dirt from reattaching to the washed material, Clean Move contributes to the reduction of environmental issues relating to drainage water.

• Detergent performance:

1. Friendly to the environment
2. Superior cleansing performance and versatility: It can be used for washing and cleaning a variety of things.
3. Disinfectant performance: It can eliminate pathogenic E.coli O-157, Staphylococcus aureus, salmonella, Legionella and many other general bacteria.

Schematic illustration of the technology

Applications:

As shown in the following sections, this detergent can be used for many purposes and its detergency meets the needs of various industries.　

You can produce 100 liters of detergent stock at a concentration of 1% for JPY 3,000. Dirt and stains can generally be washed off with the detergent at a dilution rate of 0.1-0.5%, which means it is also possible to produce 200 to 1,000 liters of detergent only for JPY 3,000.

• Processed into powdered form, Clean Move demonstrates high detergency even in small quantities.
• Most detergent products made by Japanese manufactures are designed only for single purpose or use such as for clothing, tableware or buildings. However, our product, Clean Move, is a multi -purpose cleaner that can be used for washing or cleaning a variety of objects including clothing, tableware, buildings, cars, baby’s diapers, baby bottles, etc.
