The global market for Industrial Cleaning is projected to reach US$65.5 billion by 2025, driven by the growing focus shed on maintaining clean and healthy work environments as manufacturing companies seek to increase worker productivity and well-being and enhance manufacturing quality and standards. Build-up of dirt, chemicals, solvents, mold, pathogens and other pollutants in plant floors can pose serious health hazards for workers, costing manufacturing companies billions of dollars in lost productivity and health reimbursements for sick or ill workers. In addition to worker health, manufacturing machines and equipment are also prone to failures and breakdowns when regular cleaning is not undertaken. Cleaning of industrial equipment reduces wear and tear and protects capital investments.

A solvent is a liquid formulation that is capable of suspending, dissolving or extracting various substances, without influencing any chemical change to the subject material and the end-product. Solvents function on the principle of 'like dissolves like' and are used for separating, cleaning and processing of materials. Solvents are primarily used for forming a solution by dissolving the solute and bring out properties of some substances. These solutions are selected or applied on the basis of numerous factors including safety and health and environmental effects, along with inherent features such as dissolving strength, evaporation and viscosity rates, flammability, and toxicity. To suffice various end-use level requirement...
