What needs removing?
Describe the residue, soil or contamination and how it builds up.
Industrial cleaning
Makingclean, clean.
Industrial resin cleaning, UV ink removal, paint and coating clean-up, and reducing reliance on conventional solvent washes all depend on the same question: does the chemistry work for your process?
blent develops water-based formulations for demanding industrial cleaning requirements. We help teams assess potential alternatives to established solvent-based cleaning, including acetone-led processes, through application-specific evaluation.
Start with the job to be done.
There is no meaningful cleaning recommendation without understanding the application. The contamination, surface, equipment, process, working conditions and required result all shape what a suitable solution looks like.

Application review
Test plan
What are we cleaning?
Share the surfaces, equipment and material compatibility considerations.
How does the process run?
Tell us about temperature, contact time, agitation, rinsing and other relevant conditions.
What matters operationally?
Explain any quality, handling, throughput, maintenance or site-specific requirements.
Cleaning challenges, by
material and process.
A resin remover for tools is not necessarily appropriate for an ink press, and a production tank cleaning process is not the same as a parts washer. We approach each application on its own terms.
Resins
Epoxy resin, polyester resin, gelcoats, polyurethane and other polymer residues can present very different cleaning conditions. The cure state matters.

Looking to move away from acetone, MEK, toluene or another solvent? A successful switch depends on cleaning performance, contact time, compatible materials, residue behaviour, handling requirements and total cost in use.
Explore alternativesUV inks and printing
Press wash-up and equipment cleaning require attention to ink chemistry and compatible machine components.
Explore printingPaints and coatings
Changeover, tooling and equipment cleaning have different requirements for uncured paint, cured deposits and coating components.
Explore coatingsTough residues
For carbonaceous deposits and stubborn industrial build-up, the right method may involve temperature, mechanical action, dwell time and the specific substrate.
Explore difficult residuesSearching for a green solvent? blent's starting point is a water-based cleaning formulation, which is not automatically the same thing as a solvent replacement suited to every process. We evaluate compatibility and performance before recommending change.
Performance without
the assumptions.
Our work begins with high-performance, water-based formulations. Rather than asking you to change your process on a promise, we examine the technical fit and establish how the chemistry performs against agreed requirements. Where needed, we can explore process adjustments as part of a managed evaluation.
Formulation availability, suitability and technical characteristics vary by product and application. Request the relevant documentation before use.
FRE-1X water-based industrial cleanerBuilt for industrial decision-makers.
We speak to the people responsible for making industrial cleaning work in practice—from operations and engineering to procurement, EHS and technical teams. Each brings a different perspective, and a useful evaluation has to account for them all.
Does it work within the real process?
Does performance meet the defined specification?
What do the relevant hazard, handling and exposure assessments show?
Can this work commercially and reliably at the required scale?
Test first.
Decide with confidence.
Our pilot process is managed with your team. We agree a question worth testing, define the conditions and review the evidence before discussing next steps.
