Overview
NanoSafeguard is among the first companies in the world promoting products, which uses nanotechnology to eliminate or greatly reduces the need for dangerous chemicals. By using nanotechnology we are able to avoid hazardeous chemicals, as well as incorporating additional benefits into the products.
Our treatments/sealants all contain zero VOC's and are all made of renewable ingredients.
In addition to our treatments/sealants we also have a line of environmeltally friendly cleaners.
We understand that finding the right cleaners and products can be a challenge. More than 80,000 chemicals, most of them harmful, are used in common cleaning solutions. Many products that are promoted as "green" actually contain potentially dangerous ingredients. Other products don't work very well. As local, state and federal officials legislate the use of environmentally-safe products, cleaning professionals are facing a confusing marketplace for cleaning formulations. Here's what to look for when shopping for environmentally safe cleaners.
Key Features
Ingredients:
For safety and green compliance, obtain a list of the contents. High-quality products should have a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) listing the ingredients. The Health Administration (OSHA) also lists chemicals it deems harmful.
Harmful chemicals found in cleaning preparations include: volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chlorine, benzene, triclosan, nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates, alkylphenolethoxylates (APEs), synthetics, terpenes, petroleum distillates, glycol ethers, caustics, builders and reagents.
Some products, such as NanoSafeguard's Eco line of cleaners, are derived from plants and vegetables without any ozone-depleting substances, synthetics or VOCs.
Effectiveness:
Cleaning without harmful formulations requires a different chemical approach. Some products use a nano-technology that employs tiny particles, 1/80,000 the thickness of human hair. The small size allows the nano-molecules to pierce the carbon bonds of dirt, stains and buildup. This action breaks unwanted substances into billions of particles that disperse in water and repel one another. As a result, the particles are easy to remove and less likely to re-adhere to cleaned surfaces.
