Colloidal chemistry is the new technology that makes possible the conversion of plant extracts such as soy, corn, wheat and grain.  These are mixed with minute amounts of natural of non-iconic surfactants and pure water.  The solutions emit no harmful fumes, are non-corrosive and have no flash point.  New particles called colloidal micelles are created.  Powerful micelles are created.  Powerful micelle cleaning action causes long chain hydrocarbon soils such as fats, greases, oils, lipids, proteins and sugars to virtually repel from the cleaning surface so that soils can be rinsed away with water.

What is a Surfactant?

• A Surfactant (surface-active agent) is a compound that has two groups present in the molecule:

One being hydrophobic in nature which means water-hating or oil-like

• One being hydrophilic in nature which means water-liking.

When you have a surfactant with two groups present, you have a chemical compound that has surface-active properties or the ability to affect the interfacial relationship between two dissimilar substances such as oil and water.

The development of new surfactants has brought aqueous cleaners clean by subverting the soil.  A non-emulsifying surfactant is designed to have higher affinity for the substrate than the soil does.  The surfactant thus “lifts” the soil from the part of the surface without chemically reacting with it.  For example, a non-emulsifying cleaner works well in spray applications.  If a settling tank and oil skimmer are added to the system, soils can be removed and the cleaning solution can be re-used, sometimes indefinitely, without re-contaminating parts.

What is a Colloid?

A colloid, or colloidal dispersion, is a form of matter intermediate between a true solution (like salt dissolved in water) and mixture or suspension (Italian salad dressing right after you shake).  Further research revealed that colloids have minute particles called micelles.  When combined with water, micelles break water’s surface tension (the property that keeps water droplets round), resulting in “super wet” water.  That some action allows the micelles to penetrate grease, oil and related organic soils and to hold them in liquid suspension.  In effect, the micelle cleaning action is unique and can only be related to the effect of an atomic explosion where random interaction of the particles loosens the soil.

It has been demonstrated that substances such as petroleum compounds, waxes, the more complex alcohols, oil soluble dyes and other substances, which are insoluble in dilute detergent solutions will dissolve in solutions that contain these colloid particles micelles.

In laboratory tests the dyne/centimetre surface tension of tap water had been halved by the adding of as little as 1/3250th part of SC-1000™ This may serve to explain why the invention of SC-1000™ allows us to constitute so many solutions from one product that can have the properties of a soap, a detergent, a solvent or other cleaner, and yet be none of these in itself, and to do so with so nearly a perfect factor.

What is a Micelle?

The surfactants used by BIOBASED Europe Ltd consist of long molecules with two very different types of ends.  One end likes water, and is called hydrophilic, the other end likes oil and dislikes water, and is called hydrophobic.  When these surfactants are placed in water, the hydrophobic ends attract each other, and repel water, and arrange themselves into spherical structure with the hydrophobic ends on the outer surface of the sphere.  This sphere is called a micelle.

What about Cleaning?

Cleaning is mostly about cleaning different types of hydrophobic (or oily) soils.  Why? Because hydrophollic, or water loving, soils are usually easily rinsed off with water.  Micelles enable us to dissolve hydrophobic chemestries into water.

The tails of the surfactant like oil soils as well as they do each other, and begin to orient themselves on the surface of the oily soil as shown in the diagram below.  Eventually that small part of the soli lifts off of the cleaning surface and becomes part of a micelle, thus cleaning the surface.

Two important features of SC-1000™ are its reusability and its poor emulsion formation.  These two features actually have one single cause:  the hydrophobic tails of SC-1000™ readily “let go” of oils, which when float to the surface of the water where they can be removed.

SAFE CARE® Safety Solvents

The SAFE CARE® Safety Solvents are non-polar plant-based solvents which provide the same or higher performance characteristics of traditional halogenated or chlorinated solvents with few or none of the disadvantages. SAFE CARE® Safety Solvents include solvents that are water miscible and non-miscible amd 100% evaporative and non-evaporative with Kauri Butinal (KB) values ranging from 150 to over 1000.

The surfactants used by Safe Bio Cleaning consist of long molecules with two very different types of ends.  One end likes water, and is called hydrophilic, the other end likes oil and dislikes water, and is called hydrophobic.  When these surfactants are placed in water, the hydrophobic ends attract each other, and repel water, and arrange themselves into spherical structure with the hydrophobic ends on the outer surface of the sphere.  This sphere is called a micelle.

Figure “A” below is a highly schematic illustration of the manner in which the colloid particles called micelles perform in reducing surface tension of water in a very dilute solution.  Each micelle is about one ten-millionth of centimeter (0.000,000,01 cm) in size.  Although the physical action is electrical in nature, it is perhaps more readily visualized with the rounded ends as “hydrophollic” or having an affinity to water.  The rectangular ends may be regarded as “hydrophobic” or being antagonised to water.

It has been demonstrated that substances such as petroleum compounds, waxes, the more complex alcohols, oil soluble dyes and other substances, which are insoluble in dilute detergent solutions will dissolve in solutions that contain these colloid particles called micelles.

Simply put, the Safe Bio Cleaning products are designed to enable separation of oils, waters and soils at a tiny molecular level, thus creating world class cleaning results without the use of harmful chemicals and using the power of nature to actually achieve the results that you need.

The range of products is wide and varied to tackle the majority of cleaning and chemical challenges across the whole of hospitality and care sectors.  We believe that safety of your staff , customers and the planet as well as quality cleaning results can be achieved with with the innovation of our Safe Bio Cleaning Supplies.  You will be amazed at the results that products that do not contain harsh chemicals can actually achieve.

Each product comes with its own benefits such as the glass ‘n’ dish wash cleaner being more efficient, requiring no post rinse and reducing time  and cost as well as all of the health and safety and environmental benefits that also come with the product.

We are currently providing these products to members of the hospitality sectors from small independent bars and restaurant up to multi national hotel chains.  Some of the reasons that so many decision makers within the hospitality industry are moving to ‘greener’ alternatives from the more harmful chemicals are:

Health and Safety

In the UK and Europe all of the cleaning products score zero on the MSDS sheets as they contain no harmful chemicals and are made from a inovative blend of bio based ingredients making them safe to use, store and dispose of.   The are non corrosive which means that equipment and people will not come to any harm with the Safebiocleaning products, which in many cases reduces the need for regerious health and safety processes which come with more harmful chemical cleaners, degreasers, solvents and lubricants.

The products have been used and tested for over 15 years at a global stage and can be shipped to any location.

Environmentally Safe

The product range is 100% Bio based, from 100% renewable sources and is also 100% bio degradable which means that compared to many of the alternative chemicals that companies are using up till now they are very environmentally friendly and can help enhance your green credentials while in many cases actually doing a better job.

The cleaning products ingredients are so safe that they do not fall under the COSH regulations as the products are made from plant based ingredients, this makes for both an environmentally safe product that is spilled or poured down with waste or grey water will not harm the water table and does not release VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) into the atmosphere (like most exiting cleaning products do) making at better for your staff and customers.

The technical bit – Micelle Technology

The products base ingredients were initially designed around hard oils such as crude oil which they make light work of, removing challenging oils and soils from some of the most challenging areas for cleaning imaginable.  If you can imagine the tiny molecules of oil being surrounded by millions of tiny pins which then separates the oils at a micro level from water and soils, leaving it easier to seperate from any surface, soil or water.  This means that for jobs in Bars, restaurant, hotels and night clubs the products have no problem in removing dirt and cleaning all areas for great results.

Action

If you want to know more about the product for your hotel, bar, restaurant or night club then please feel free to get in touch with us, we can provide demonstrations, testimony and product training for your business and we can work together to ‘safely cleaning planet earth’.

Today the Rowantree Cafe at Barshaw Park in off Glasgow Road in Paisley Renfrewshire helped out with a graffiti removal demo (thank you to the staff they were very helpful and friendly).  The graffiti in the image below was removed with the Bio Based Graffiti, Tar and Gum Remover some blue role and a spray of water to rinse off.  It was hard to identify what was used to put the Graffiti, but this came off pretty easily in about 15 minuted work.

BEFORE GRAFFITI REMOVAL

AFTER – The Graffiti removed from the top of the shutter, this would have come off much easier if I had used a vinal hand brush to agitate the thicker areas of pain/pen.  but it did come off really well.

BEFORE – The image below is the bottom frame on the Cafe Shutter which is the same paint/spray or pen as the other graffiti above.

AFTER GRAFFITI REMOVAL – The lover shutter frame took 10 minutes, with one initial spray (let settle and work into the graffiti for best results) a wipe over the text on the right, then a second spray (leave again for 30-60 seconds) and wipe again… This was easier then the top of the shutter simply because of the hight access.
