ABOUT US:
COMPANY:
At EcoGen, our goal is to deliver high performance cleaning products that are safe for the user and gentle on the environment. Our water-based, biodegradable cleaning formulas have a long record of success in the industrial marketplace and have been in use since the early 1970's. Most industrial cleaning applications do not require dangerous solvent-based chemicals and our hope is to replace many of these toxic chemicals with safer alternatives that minimize risk to employees and improve workplace safety.
ENVIRONMENTAL INFO:
We are committed to providing products that reduce environmental impact and protect our planet for future generations.

SAFER CHEMISTRY:
Unlike solvent-based cleaners that use caustic, burning chemicals to remove soils, EcoGen cleaners surround and lift soils away from the cleaning surface using colloidal suspension. This unique technology allows our products to break down tough oil, dirt and grime without toxic, harmful chemicals.
When EcoGen formulations are applied to a surface, micro-cleaning particles (micelles) in the solution reduce surface tension, allowing more thorough contact and better penetration of the soiled surface. These micro-cleaners then work to lift, encapsulate and suspend soils into the cleaning solution so they no longer adhere to the surface and are more easily removed. This safer, more targeted cleaning action leaves a truly clean surface without putting users or the environment at risk.

EcoGen Cleaner
Nano-sized cleaning particles in EcoGen formulas achieve more thorough contact with the surface area due to their small size and overwhelming volume. Imagine covering a surface with marbles and another surface with sand. The sand is able to reach a much larger area of the cleaning surface. The active micelles in the EcoGen cleaning solution work in the same way as the sand to reach a greater surface area and clean more effectively.
Once the micelles reach the soiled surface, they penetrate the larger hydrocarbon molecules and break them into billions of individual pieces. As the soils are lifted from the surface, they become encapsulated within the EcoGen solution and are easily removed since they can no longer adhere to the surface.
