The lower the temperature, the higher the impact: Henkel has developed an innovative low temperature cleaner for aluminum beverage cans that will soon be available globally. When used in traditional spray systems, BONDERITE C-IC 72000 series cleans at a 30% lower temperature, reducing natural gas use and in turn, lowering the plant’s carbon footprint. Results will vary from plant to plant based on their processes, however during a recent trial, a customer reduced their natural gas use which contributed to a 38% reduction in their carbon emissions!
Apart from reducing energy consumption, the cleaner also optimizes water usage, as it has been found to generate 75 percent less foam than traditional cleaners in Henkel laboratory studies.
