A more and more demanding cleaning market
As a manufacturer or formulator of cleaning products, your main aim is to offer innovating products that satisfy the consumer desire and needs. Whatever the end market, and beyond always looking for the most effective and universal cleaner at the lowest price, consumers now want "cleaner" cleaners, and expect manufacturers to offer products that are "safe for the user and their children, safe for the Earth and their equipment or furnitures".
The acid cleaners do not derogate to this new rule and we know that, as a responsible manufacturer, you are facing strong challenges for developing highly efficient and sustainable products with a lowest possible environmental impact while meeting ever stringent and binding regulations and certifications. At Arkema, we do not want you choose between efficiency and safety or the environment, and offer you to have the solution that smeets all these requiurement with our Methane Sulfonic Acid (MSA) grade, Scaleva®.
