MonTREAL – Walter Surface Technologies has developed an eco-friendly product for heavy-duty industrial cleaning called Nature Boost.

The cleaner incorporates a new additive derived from vegetable extracts. The new ingredient is obtained from a by-product generated in the vegetable processing industry, thus not impacting the cost of food.

This raw material has excellent solubility of oils, greases, inks, adhesives and even paint, thus making it a very attractive alternative to traditional petroleum based solvents. The product does not emit Volatile Organic Compounds, is non-toxic and bio-renewable.

“Our product developers have succeeded in creating Nature Boost — a derivative of natural material widely available — and using it as a powerful ingredient in new cleaning solutions,” says Pierre Somers, Chairman and CEO of Walter Surface Technologies International.

“Using a natural product, in this case vegetable extract, to make highly efficient and ecological cleaning products is another major step by WST in achieving its mission of ‘Making Green Work’.”
