Heavy Duty Cleaning & Degreasing
Clean Deeper. Remove More. Formulate Better.
Outperform conventional solutions in tough cleaning applications
A food service packaging mill
Industrial and heavy duty cleaning and degreasing systems must remove tough soils such as grease, oil, and biomass under demanding conditions. Locus’ Amphi® biosurfactants improve penetration, surface wetting, and soil removal to deliver more effective industrial cleaning performance with greater consistency across applications.
The Challenge
Why heavy-duty cleaning systems break down
Heavy-duty cleaning performance often breaks down when soils resist penetration or redeposit on surfaces. Conventional surfactants struggle to fully wet and lift complex soils, leaving behind residue, increasing chemical demand, and reducing overall cleaning efficiency.
Performance cleaning, built for real-world formulations
Amphi® biosurfactants improve cleaning by enhancing wetting, penetration, and soil removal across complex surfaces. They perform across alkaline, acidic, and hard water systems, helping formulators increase performance without increasing formulation complexity.
Grease removal
Improves wetting and surface penetration for more effective grease removal in heavy-duty and industrial cleaning systems
System compatibility
Works across alkaline, acidic, and hard water formulations, including process and maintenance fluids
Formulation efficiency
Enhances cleaning performance while reducing total surfactant load in formulations
Biobased reformulation
Enables transition from petrochemical systems to high-performance biosurfactant-based formulations
Biosurfactants deliver real cleaning gains
- Improved wetting and penetration across tough soils
- Enhanced grease cutting and soil removal
- Greater consistency across variable water conditions
- Lower chemical load with improved performance
- Supports reformulation and regulatory transitions
