Specific Use Chemicals
Cleaning Chemicals: your questions answered
What makes Indet different from an ordinary floor soap?
Indet is the catalogue’s general-purpose floor cleaner and degreaser in one — a workhorse concentrate that cuts workshop oil as readily as canteen grime, stocked in 5 L and 25 L. Super Indet is the heavier version for baked-on industrial soiling. Because both are concentrates blended with Namibian hard water in mind, a 25-litre drum diluted correctly outlasts pallets of supermarket floor soap — which is why cleaning contractors standardise on it.
Which of your disinfectants are suitable for food factories and kitchens?
For food-contact areas use the sanitiser line: Actisan (25 L) for surfaces and process equipment, Bactiwash antibacterial hand soap at the wash stations, Bactidish for utensils, and Quicksan surface sanitiser fogger for rapid room treatment. Santo and pine disinfectant are for drains, floors and ablutions rather than food-contact surfaces. Fish and meat plants working to export hygiene standards typically run Actisan or hypochlorite on surfaces with documented dilutions — we supply the SDS and dosing guidance for audit files.
Do you have a degreaser strong enough for mine and truck workshops?
Several, graded by job. Swachem Engine Cleaner 222 and Greasolve strip heavy grease from engines and components; the Waterbase Degreaser handles floors and parts where you want no solvent flash; Alubright Extra brightens aluminium bodies and tankers; and Fleet Wash with Wash & Wax covers the bodywork. Workshops running wash bays buy 25-litre concentrates and dilute at the gun — tell us your soil type (grease, brake dust, red Kalahari dust) and we will match the product.
Can I buy raw materials from you to blend my own detergents?
Yes — supporting local blenders is a deliberate part of the range. SLES 25 and SLES 70, sulphonic acid, CDE, nonionic surfactants (NP6/NP9), thickening salts, preservatives, plus the perfume range (eleven fragrances from Apple to Sweet Cherry) and dyes are all stocked. A start-up can buy 25 kg quantities and a formulation pointer at the counter; established blenders move to 170 kg drums on account. Your competition is buying finished product at retail — blending from our raws is how the margin comes back.
