Why Choose Solopol® GFX™ for your Workplace?

Solopol® GFX™ is the most significant innovation in our 80-year involvement with industrial hand cleaning and fuses our market leading foam science with cutting-edge dispensing technology. It is the perfect combination of effective heavy duty cleaning ingredients with non-abrasive scrubbers, dispensed in a powerful foam format to remove many types of industrial contaminants.

It is better, faster and more preferred than other conventional hand cleaners.

Utilising the ‘Science of Suspension’, heavy duty hand cleaning liquid is transformed into a rich-cream foam containing uniquely suspended deep-cleaning dual scrubbers, which are less abrasive than traditional scrubbing agents. As the product passes through the patented dispensing pump, it is infused with air to deliver five times more volume than the liquid form.

The easy spreadability of Solopol® GFX™ that allows for fast cleaning and rinsing, is the direct result of the ingredient system and foam format.

Solopol® GFX™ is a solvent-free Heavy Duty Power Foam hand cleaner with cornmeal and olive pit scrubbing agents to remove dirt, grime, oil and grease. Lightly fragranced.

Where to use: For use in industrial environments to effectively remove heavy soiling's such as oil, grease, carbon black, lubricants and general dirt and grime.

Background

It is estimated that 10-15 percent of all occupational illness is caused by skin disease, ranging from chapped, sore skin to serious instances of occupational dermatitis. Skin disease can result in serious problems for employers, including absence from work and reduced productivity, compensation and compliance issues, low staff morale and even possible health and safety violations. The ultimate cost of these problems can be significant and is often under-reported.

The choice of hand hygiene and skin care products can make a significant difference in reducing the occurrence of these problems.

Why Solopol® GFX™?

Solopol® GFX™ has been specifically formulated to combine the cleaning power of a traditional heavy duty hand cleaner with the gentleness of foam. It is a significant development to help address the desire of occupational dermatologists and safety professionals to provide milder, safer products that still do the job effectively and efficiently.
