We would like to introduce a case study from a company that manufactures medical devices such as syringes! They were struggling to remove tape marks and oil stains from the syringe (cylindrical) bundles before processing. Therefore, they tried cleaning with Kuripika Ace, which had already been introduced in other departments, and found that both the tape marks and the degreasing were perfectly removed! All of our employees learned a great deal from this usage method that we had never imagined.
