Univar Expands Portfolio with Addition of NOB166®
Univar Solutions Inc., one of the leading global solutions provider to users of specialty ingredients and chemicals, today announced another significant step forward in the Company's journey to a more sustainable future with the addition of Ancor's NOB166® boosters for detergent products to its homecare and industrial cleaning ingredients portfolio.
The NOB166® range of anti-microbial laundry detergent additives are used in health care and industrial laundry and dry-cleaning services to prevent the depositing and proliferation of microorganisms that can accelerate odor and degradation of products.
Combined with detergents and fabric softeners during the manufacturing process, NOB166 boosters can be used on many fabrics, natural or synthetic, and are effective in cold water washing as well, which can result in energy, time, and cost savings, and less pressure on electricity grids.
In addition, NOB166 creates a biocidal action and imparts anti-microbial protection that lasts up to seven days, inhibiting the proliferation of microorganisms in textiles and helping to eliminate the need to wash fabrics daily, which can result in reduced hot water use, less water consumption in general, and reduced wear and tear on fabrics.
"As global consumers become increasingly aware of the importance of protecting the environment and seek out sustainable solutions, it's more important than ever for us to incorporate eco-friendly chemistries into our ingredient options for our customers," commented Aaron Lee, global vice president for Homecare & Industrial Cleaning at Univar Solutions.
"The need to develop greener products that don't compromise on efficacy has truly opened the door to a new generation of high-quality, sustainable ingredients and solutions. With that, we are delighted to announce our exclusive agreement to distribute NOB166 across Europe and North America, through our partnership with a supplier that shares our strong commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable development."
