Triflex UK is proud to announce the transition of Triflex Cleaner (Reiniger) to a biobased formulation, marking another important step in our ongoing mission to develop resource efficient, future focused solutions.

As a company committed to circularity, we continuously seek to conserve resources, minimise waste, and prioritise the use of renewable and alternative raw materials across our product portfolio. The evolution of Triflex Cleaner reflects this long term strategy.

Same trusted performance, now from a renewable source

Triflex Cleaner is an essential part of many Triflex applications, used widely for substrate preparation, degreasing metal surfaces, and cleaning tools during installations. While the product’s performance remains exactly the same, the material at the heart of its formulation has undergone a meaningful transformation.

The cleaner continues to use ethyl acetate as its primary component. However, instead of being extracted through a conventional chemical process, the raw material is now sourced from renewable, biobased origins. The ethyl acetate is produced using a waste by product from the maize harvest, a material that cannot be utilised by the food industry but can be redirected for high value technical applications. This ensures that the transition supports responsible sourcing without creating competition with agriculture or food production.

Tony Mills, Director at Triflex UK, commented:

“Transitioning Triflex Cleaner to a biobased formulation is a meaningful step in our sustainability journey. It allows us to conserve valuable resources without compromising on product performance - something our customers rely on every day. By shifting to renewable, responsibly sourced materials, we’re strengthening our commitment to circularity and ensuring our solutions continue to lead the way both technically and environmentally.”
