Sustainable Ingredients in Cleaning Products

Sustainable Components in Cleaning Univar Solutions Expands Home Care and Industrial Cleaning Sustainable Ingredients Portfolio with NOB166® Anti-Microbial Boosters. Univar Solutions Inc., a leading global solution provider for specialty chemicals and ingredients users, announced that the addition of Ancor's NOB166® boosters for detergent products to its home care and industrial cleaning ingredients portfolio represents an important step forward in the company's journey toward a more sustainable future. The NOB166® anti-microbial laundry detergent additive series is used in healthcare and industrial laundry and dry-cleaning services to prevent the accumulation and proliferation of microorganisms that can accelerate product odor and deterioration. Aaron Lee, Vice President, Global Home Care and Industrial Cleaning at Univar Solutions, said, "As global consumers increasingly recognize the importance of environmental protection and seek sustainable solutions, it is more important than ever for us to include environmentally friendly chemicals in our content options for our customers." "The need to develop more environmentally friendly products without compromising performance has truly opened the door to new-generation high-quality, sustainable content and solutions. In this context, we are pleased to announce that through our partnership with a supplier who shares our strong commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable development, we have reached an exclusive agreement to distribute NOB166 in Europe and North America." In home care and industrial cleaning applications, NOB166 boosters are combined with detergents and softeners during the manufacturing process. These products can be used on many natural or synthetic fabrics, are effective in cold water washing, and can provide energy, time and cost savings while reducing pressure on electrical grids. Additionally, NOB166 provides a biocidal effect and offers anti-microbial protection lasting up to seven days, preventing the proliferation of microorganisms in textiles and helping to eliminate the need for daily fabric washing, which can result in lower hot water consumption, overall reduced water consumption, and less wear and tear on fabrics. Steve Vriethoff, Director of Sales and Sustainability at NOB166, said, "We are excited to partner with Univar Solutions, an organization that shares our commitment to technological innovation and sustainable consumption and production models. By collaborating across multiple regions, we can better serve our customers who want to increase efficiency and reduce costs with our next-generation biocide solutions."
