GTQ™

Overview

GTQ™ is a groundbreaking cost-effective surfactant providing exceptional performance for customers. It was developed as a response to the price pressures faced by our customers in their markets, offering the same multi-dimensional benefits as Q3™ but at a significantly lower price point. GTQ™ is CleanGredients listed as it is noncorrosive to metal, skin, and eye and can be used in Safer Choice, Green Seal and Ecologo certifiable products. GTQ™ is VOC exempt, has a low odor profile and contains <1 utf <1ppm 1,4-dioxane while demonstrating superior performance for cleaning greases, oils and carbonaceous soils.
