Due to the progress of the comprehensive regulation of PFAS under the REACH regulation, there may be a demand for explanations regarding the continued use of fluorinated cleaning agents and cleaning agents containing fluorinated surfactants. Cleaning agents are often thought to be "used only in the process" and "do not remain in the product because they are rinsed off," but when using agents containing PFAS in the process, issues such as the potential for residue in the product, transfer to wastewater and waste liquids, explanations along the supply chain, and alternatives may arise. In particular, fluorinated surfactants may be added in small amounts to cleaning agents for the purposes of low surface tension, wettability, permeability, and foam control. Therefore, it is important to identify cleaning agents and process chemicals that include not only PFOS and PFOA but also a broader category of PFAS. 'VB1000' is a water-based high-performance cleaning agent composed of water and minerals. Since it does not use PFAS, surfactants, or organic solvents, it is suitable for consideration as a replacement for fluorinated cleaning agents and surfactant-based cleaning agents. It can be applied to existing processes such as immersion, spraying, wiping, and ultrasonic cleaning, and it is also possible to adjust cleaning performance by combining heating conditions. It is possible to conduct confirmations tailored to actual processes, such as considering replacements from current products, sample evaluations, SDS checks, material impacts, drying conditions, and residue confirmations.

Conventional organic solvent-based cleaning agents have cleaning power, but they can pose challenges related to compliance with fire safety regulations, working environment, storage management, and waste liquid treatment. Additionally, general surfactant-based cleaning agents emulsify and disperse oils for cleaning, which can make the entire cleaning solution prone to contamination, increasing the burden of liquid replacement and waste disposal. The water-based high-performance cleaning agent 'VB1000' operates not by emulsification with surfactants, but through a cleaning mechanism that detaches oils. Depending on the conditions, the oils removed during cleaning may separate at the top of the liquid, allowing for the removal of floating oils through overflow, suction, or oil-water separation, potentially leading to the reuse of the cleaning solution, reduction of waste liquid volume, and alleviation of wastewater treatment burdens. 'VB1000' is an industrial cleaning agent that does not use PFAS, organic solvents, or surfactants, providing an option not only for cleaning power but also for re-evaluating the management and operational burdens in industrial cleaning processes.

"VB1000" is a water-based high-performance cleaning agent that does not use synthetic chemicals, surfactants, organic solvents, or PFAS. The raw materials consist of over 99% water and less than 1% minerals, making it useful for considering cleaning processes that do not involve PFAS. Conventional cleaning agents may pose challenges related to the burden of managing the work environment, fire hazards, and storage due to organic solvents, as well as issues with oil emulsification and wastewater treatment due to surfactants. "VB1000" can accommodate various cleaning methods such as wiping, spraying, immersion, and ultrasonic cleaning for dirt containing oils and fine particles across various materials including metals, resins, and rubber. In addition to addressing PFAS regulations, the fact that the raw materials consist solely of water and minerals allows for a comprehensive review of the entire cleaning process, including VOC regulations, safety and environmental measures, reduction of organic solvents, improvement of the work environment, reduction of hazardous material management and storage burdens, reduction of wastewater volume through the reuse of cleaning agents, and simplification of wastewater treatment. *Please evaluate the suitability, cleaning conditions, and wastewater management in actual processes based on the target materials, types of dirt, equipment conditions, and local wastewater standards. *For more details about the product, please refer to the official website.

The REACH regulation functions as a condition for transactions with companies within the EU, rather than simply determining "whether it can be complied with or not." Even if you are not directly exporting to the EU, if there is a possibility that components or materials are incorporated into final products and distributed within the EU, you may be required to provide explanations within the supply chain. Additionally, under the current comprehensive regulation of PFAS in REACH, it is not necessarily the case that cleaning agents are excluded simply because "they are washed away." If the possibility of residue from cleaning agent components cannot be denied, or if PFAS is used in the process, it may become a subject for confirmation and explanation. The ECHA webinar materials from May 7, 2026, also indicate a broad definition of PFAS, a high potential for residue, and the absence of safe environmental release levels. Measures against PFAS are important not only for collection and wastewater treatment but also for reviewing the use of chemicals in processes to eliminate PFAS, based on the premise of continued use and the possibility of alternatives. 'VB1000' is a water-based high-performance cleaning agent designed to consider PFAS-free cleaning processes.
