STEPOSOL MET-10U utilizes the cleaning properties of a surfactant to outperform many common solvents. It fulfills the role of both a low HLB surfactant and a powerful solvent, which allows it to be highly effective against a broad range of soils. STEPOSOL MET-10U can be used in formulations ranging from pH 3–12 while achieving viscosities from water-thin to gel. This metathesis-derived, nonionic surfactant is an unsaturated, short chain amide resulting from Stepan’s collaboration with Elevance Renewable Sciences and furthers Stepan’s effort to deliver renewable, naturally-derived products to the market.

STEPOSOL® CITRI-MET is a concentrated fully formulated cleaning blend that can strip paint and coatings at dilutions from 1:1 (50%) to 1:4 (20%) strength. At a more dilute 1:14 (6.7%) strength, it is just strong enough to soften a surface’s top layer of gloss coating in 1 to 2 minutes time, and allow it to fill in damaged and worn areas when spread around and left to dry. This principle works on all surfaces that are softened by STEPOSOL® CITRI-MET, such as industrial or oil based painted surfaces, or finished wood surfaces. By softening the upper portion of the coating, STEPOSOL® CITRI-MET allows for deep cleaning of embedded dirt as well.

MIKROCOUNT COMBI is part of the mikrocount® product range provides every operation with individual means of rapid and reliable hygiene control, e.g. in sensitive production areas or medical areas. In addition to production and personnel hygiene measures, applicable hygiene guidelines and quality assurance concepts (e. g. GMP or HACCP) require routine hygiene controls at each step of the production process and documentation of the results. mikrocount® dipslides are the ideal solution for comprehensive hygiene monitoring of the entire production process.

MIKROCOUNT DUO is a ready-to-use device with two media solidified onto a plastic support used for total plate count and yeast and mould detection for microbiological monitoring of surfaces with inactivation of disinfectants.
