I&I Cleaning

The I&I Toolkit is Stagnating. The Performance Bar is Rising.

Outperform conventional chemistry under modern formulation constraints

The LOCUS ADVANTAGE

Maximize coverage and cleaning performance with less chemistry

Maintain stable performance across varying conditions

Reduce variability to deliver consistent, repeatable results

Industrial & institutional cleaning systems face increasing pressure to perform within tighter formulation constraints across cost, regulation, and ingredient availability. Formulations have changed. Performance expectations have not.

Locus glycolipid biosurfactants function as industrial & institutional cleaning surfactants, improving wetting, soil penetration, and suspension at the interface—delivering stronger cleaning performance across I&I cleaning formulations without adding complexity.

The Challenge

Soils are harder. Formulations must do more. Expectations are higher.

Formulators are expected to deliver higher cleaning performance under tighter constraints—reduced surfactant options, stricter regulatory requirements, and variable use conditions like hard water, temperature swings, and soil variability.

To compensate, systems often become more complex—adding ingredients to recover performance—while increasing cost, instability, and formulation risk.

The trifecta powering cleaning performance

Locus biosurfactants improve cleaning performance by controlling interfacial behavior across three mechanisms:

Beyond the formulation bench

Ingredient selection must balance regulatory profile, supply stability, and real-world cleaning performance.
