concludes Ruggero Sammarco. We meet Thomas Zeck, the Sales Director of Kreussler Textile Care, who
emphasises how Kreussler, the German textile care specialist, is among the pioneers of the real
sustainability. "Many decades ago, we were the first company producing detergents for industrial use to
ban phosphates completely as well as borates, perborates, APEO, EDTA and NTA. Kreussler is taking a
multitude of aspects besides the formula of the detergents into account: when cleaning the garments, it is
not enough to use ingredients which are biodegradable, or do not harm the environment. If the washing
EXECUTIVE P
power of a “green” detergent Is so weak that a high dosage is necessary to get clothes clean, the product
is not really sustainable. The new OptiCare 50° GREEN which Kreussler presents at EXPOdetergo Inter-
national is a comprehensible, modular system of five products for laundries not just fulfilling the very
strict requirements for the benchmark EU Ecolabel, but also being extremely powerful in smallest dos-
ages while treating textiles as gently as possible, prolonging their lifetime. Kreussler also offers sustain-
able solutions for dry cleaners. One of the most well-known Kreussler inventions is the original Lanadol
wet cleaning using water as “solvent” for even the most sensitive fabrics, needing only about 6 liters of
water per kg wet cleaned fabrics, using cleaning agents which are biodegradable and extremely concen-
trated. For the dry cleaner who prefers working with a classic solvent, Kreussler developed and patented
SYSTEMK4, featuring the super-pure, halogen-free organic solvent SOLVONK4 which often cleans even
better than perc, while having a far superior environmental profile”.
Since the foundation of CHT R. Beitlich GmbH in 1953 in Tübingen, a city in south-west Germany, the
company has evolved as a worldwide operating company focused on innovative chemicals as functional
generators, auxiliaries and additives for industrial processes.
Prince Charles Stevens, the Head of Business Field Washing Solutions, explains the effectiveness of
CHT technology. “The Smart Technology system solution combines a new washing system with a sophis-
ticated service concept and digital data technologies. With the general concept, consisting of five mod-
ules, the laundries are washing even in a more efficient, safe and sustainable way. The composing
elements, can be used individually, in combination or as a complete package. Using UV-C technology can
be achieved excellent washing results, saving valuable resources and reducing the environmental pollu-
tion, at the same time. With the Smart Glasses, the CHT service technicians can remotely control the
dosing technology in the laundry, in real time. This technology is useful especially in situations when
troubleshooting and rapid analysis is required, even on long distances. Smart Dosing is a new dosing
technology that can be set remotely on the dosing system, giving the possibility of adjusting each indi-
vidual recipe. By developing an integrated energy concept, the use of a thermal camera can show the
heat losses in the washing and ironing areas. The entrepreneurs should take advantage of the compe-
tence of the analysis laboratories, and the entrepreneurs should take advantage of the competence of the
analysis laboratories, and apply it for their laundry, in order to receive valuable data analysis, evaluations
and recommendations for the chemical products, textiles, and water”.
Always focused on environmental issues, Montega® has recently developed a concentrated enzyme-
based liquid detergent, capable of competing with the best products of our range, whether liquid or in
powder, says Stenilio Morazzini, at the helm of Montega Chemical solutions. Lumiere, has quickly be-
come our flagship product, both in terms of production capacity and its eco-compatibility! It is distin-
guished by its effective stain removal action and its great gentleness on fabrics, both for the bedroom and
bathroom linen, but also for the table clothing and and lounge linen. It is a product with surprising charac-
teristics, like the speed for dispersing in the water and especially for the results achieved at low tempera-
tures. The nature of the raw materials used makes it an extremely eco-friendly product, while maintaining
its excellent cleaning power. Alongside Lumiere, but with totally different characteristics, Montex Forte
Liquido is characterised by its ecological properties due to it's raw materials composition.
