NOVOTEC® CB800 – sparkling clean thanks to the second skin
NOVOTEC® CB800 is GELITA’s revolutionary, highly effective and environmentally friendly cleaning additive for all water-based cleaners. Based on hydroxyproline rich proteins, NOVOTEC® CB800 can attach itself to different surfaces and — by self-association — build stable hydrophilic films on cleaned surfaces. As such, this simple and safe-to-use concept not only protects all kinds of surfaces, it also boost the performance of surfactants and enables highly effective cleaning at mild pH.
This versatile performance additive is a natural polymer, which is both non-allergenic and completely biodegradable.
