by Brianna Crandall — September 5, 2014—Nyco Products Company has introduced its OM1 Series brand, said to be the first North American industrial and institutional cleaning brand formulated with new Eastman Omnia high-performance solvent. OM1Series products, powered by Omnia, are “greener” and safer alternatives to traditional cleaning products containing d-Limonene, monobutyl and other glycol ethers — yet they also deliver exceptional cleaning performance on a multitude of tough soils, claims Nyco. The OM1 Series is being launched with three ready-to-use formulations: Multi-Surface Cleaner, Power Degreaser, and Bath and Restroom Cleaner.
Omnia is a low vapor pressure volatile organic compound (LVP-VOC) with an excellent toxicity profile. Readily biodegradable, non-hazardous, and free from monobutyl and other glycol ethers, OM1 Series cleaners, powered by Omnia from Eastman, are formulated to be safely responsible. Omnia meets Design for the Environment’s (DfE) criteria for a safer solvent and is listed with the highest rating on its Safer Chemical Ingredients list. Omnia is also listed with no restrictions by GreenBlue on its CleanGredients database.
OM1 Series cleaners, formulated with Omnia, are s highly effective at removing a wide range of tough soils from greasy dirt and carbonized soils in ovens (Power Degreaser) to soap scum and hard water deposits (Bath & Restroom Cleaner). In an independent test with a scrub machine comparing OM1 Series cleaners to leading I&I and retail RTU green cleaners, OM1 Series outperformed the rest, cleaning up to three times faster than other brands. Power Degreaser removed tar completely from a waxed vinyl tile panel in just 390 scrubs, with the next closest brand at 690 scrubs and some as high as 1250 scrubs.
