Welcome to the new world of nano-colloidal solutions!
Eco Mist products are bio-based cleaners that break the magnetic
attraction of oil molecules, allowing dirt, grease and grime to
simply rinse away without employing any harsh or harmful chemicals
and is made from natural ingredients such as corn, tree sap, processed
coconut extract, sugarcane, and de-ionised water.
The culmination of numerous years of research, nano/colloidal technology
is the result of recent developments in colloidal chemistry, which
makes it possible to produce a microscopic particle called a micelle.
The micelle is comprised of a collection of linear molecules or
fatty esters and fatty acids clumped together in the shape of a
sphere that is about the size of 20 hydrogen atoms, or about one
to four nanometers. For perspective, a human hair is 80,000 nanometers
thick; a red blood cell covers 10,000 nanometers; a virus measures
100 nanometers across.
These micelles, which possess the power and capability to break
down organic molecules and hydrocarbons, are the workhorses behind
nano/colloidal technology's effectiveness as a cleaning, degreasing,
emulsifying and encapsulating agent.
Bio-based and biodegradable, nano/colloidal technology is completely
non-toxic and non-hazardous to humans, animals or plant life, and
qualifies for a non-hazardous zero ("0") U.S. government
rating. Even acute overexposure to the soap/cleaner results in no
evidence of adverse effects with respect to swallowing, skin absorption,
skin contact, eye contact, repeated overexposure and inhalation.
Nano/colloidal technology is not soap in the conventional sense.
Completely bio-based, it meets the definition stipulated in Section
9002 of FSRIA, commonly referred to as the 2002 Farm Bill: "Bio-based
products are commercial or industrial products that are composed,
in whole or significant part, of biological products or renewable
domestic agricultural materials."
Nano/colloidal technology contains no polyethylene glycols, benzene,
triclosan or other hazardous chemicals. Instead, it is extracted
and blended from FDA approved food stocks, principally corn, grains,
soybeans, and potatoes. Yet its cleaning capabilities equal or surpass
almost any detergent, cleaner or soap in the marketplace today,
and in addition it offers disinfecting and sanitizing capabilities
as well.
Its ability to emulsify hydrocarbons cannot be equaled. As a fatty
acid, nano/colloidal technology is anti-microbial, antibacterial
and anti-fungal, giving it wide application in agriculture and for
hospital cleaning and food processing.
Notwithstanding all its unique and remarkable qualities, nano/colloidal
technology is surprisingly economical to use. Competitive with any
soap or cleaner on the market today, they offer the purchaser a
cumulative product and labor cost savings of at least 50% or more.
