For competitive reasons, the supplier of this proprietary polymer solution has asked us to keep the details confidential, and we are legally bound to do so. But we can tell you that it is an aqueous solution of polymers that we use in our products to help prevent stains.

For competitive reasons, the supplier of this resin has asked us to keep the details confidential, and we are legally bound to do so. But we can tell you that it is a resin that we use to form a plastic bag and its zipper closure, and that it is compostable through curbside commercial composting that accepts food scraps and compostable bags. (Not for backyard composting.) Check for availability of curbside commercial composting in your community, these facilities do not exist in many areas.

Tributoxyethyl phosphate is a film former that can also be found in floor finishes. We use it in products to create a protective coating or shine on a surface. This means that the surface has an added level of protection, and also has the shine that helps the surface look its best.

Ethoxylated alcohol is a cleaning agent, or "surfactant," that can also be found in a variety of products including toothpaste and shampoos. Ethoxylation is the process of treating a fatty acid alcohol to give it detergent properties. We use ethoxylated alcohol in our products to remove dirt and deposits by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they are attached to, so they can be rinsed away.

Ammonium hydroxide is commonly referred to as "ammonia." Many consumers use it at home for cleaning and laundry. It is a cleaning agent, or "surfactant," that removes dirt, and it can also be used as a pH adjuster that alters the pH of a product to improve stability. Every formula has an optimum pH to make it work best. For example, a formula that is more acidic works better for soap scum removal. Its opposite, a formula that is more alkaline, might be more effective at removing grease or greasy soils. We use pH adjusters to make sure we achieve the best pH for a particular job. Also, the pH of a formula can affect how long it lasts within a container – for example limiting its tendency to corrode a tin, container or dispenser. Household ammonia has a strong odour; by using ammonium hydroxide in combination with other ingredients, we can achieve the same cleaning results while using much less ammonia.

Methylchloroisothiazolinone is a preservative that helps maintain product quality and performance over time. Some people raise concerns about preservatives, because a small number of individuals have allergies to them just as some people have allergies to nuts or bees. But preservatives play a very important role in food, cosmetics and household products. Without preservatives, many products would not last more than a week or two before being contaminated by bacteria, mould or yeast. So, we feel the best choice is to add preservatives in the smallest effective quantity to protect our products, but to list these preservatives in our formulas so that those with allergies in the family can make informed choices

PPG-2 Methyl Ether is a film former that can be found in floor finishes. It helps the ingredients be evenly distributed within a product and helps create a smooth, protective coating on the surface where it is applied. 

PPG-2 Methyl Ether (CAS 34590-94-8) is a film former that can be found in floor finishes. It helps the ingredients to be evenly distributed within a product and helps create a smooth, protective coating on the surface where it is applied.

Zinc oxide solution is a film former that can found in floor finishes. It is used to bond the polymer chains in a product to each other. This allows the product to have better durability and be resistant to soils, and this also makes it easier to remove when desired.
