PRODUCT CATALOG: SOANECLEAN
Biodegradable, Plant-Based Cleaning Technology
When you buy liquid cleaning products, you are paying for mostly water -- 50 to 95% water depending on the cleaner. That means that as little as 5% of the product currently sold are actually cleaning ingredients. This extra water adds a lot of weight to the package, thus more gas is needed to transport these products to the consumer and a higher degree of greenhouse gases are emitted. Furthermore, these liquid detergents are bottled in single-use plastic jugs that end up in our landfills.
SoaneClean™ produces these cleaning products in a solid form. This format eliminates 50 to 90% of the weight so there are more active cleaning ingredients per unit volume. In addition to significantly decreasing GHG emissions, the SoaneClean matrix is made from bio-based materials and is 100% biodegradable.
Industry Problem – Low Concentration Cleaning Liquids Drive GHGs and Plastic Waste
50-90%
Companies are spending far too much money on transportation cost for cleaning products by paying for the weight of water.

Our Solution
Soane Materials has developed a matrix material that can be used to encapsulate cleaning agents using our fundamental redispersion technology. Once our redispersion additives are mixed with the NFC, any cleaner can be loaded into the matrix and later released in water with minor agitation while the matrix itself fully disperses and is carried away with the water to safely biodegrade in the environment.
The release of actives and redispersion time can be tailored with our additives to fulfill the needs of any application. Our NFC matrix has minor interactions with the loaded cleaning ingredients whether its ionization or pH, thus it is adaptable for any cleaning product.

Laundry Sheets
The Soane Materials’ Laundry Sheet is a biodegradable, bio-based matrix that holds a single dose of laundry detergent. The Soane Materials’ cleaning matrix is compatible with all surfactant types due to the minimal interaction between matrix and detergent ingredients.
In a wash cycle, our sheet disintegrates and completely disperses within the first minute, thus unlocking the surfactants to attack the stains on your clothes. This dispersed matrix material is then carried out with the water, leaving no residue on your clothes. SRI testing with third-party laboratories has been completed to demonstrate the cleaning efficiency of the Soane Laundry Sheet.

Toilet Bowl Cleaner
The Soane Materials’ Toilet Bowl Cleaner utilizes a biodegradable, bio-based matrix to hold a variety of antimicrobials and surfactants. The toilet bowl cleaners can be produced in a variety of form factors with increased strength and redispersion times to provide optimized scrubbing for different customer preferences.
Upon initial submersion in water, the active agents begin to release from the cleaner and continue to be released throughout the scrubbing process. The active agent loading can be tailored to produce color changes and foaming while scrubbing. After scrubbing, the toilet bowl cleaner can be discarded into the toilet bowl.

Soap Sheets
The Soane Materials’ Soap Sheet provides a dried-out form of soap to minimize GHG emissions upon transportation. Using the SoaneClean matrix technology, we can produce sheets with high surfactant concentration such that when placed in water and shaken it reconstitutes into soap as you know it today.
The Soane Materials’ Soap Sheets can be packaged and shipped in cardboard and then redispersed into a reusable container.

Lightweight, easy to carry and store.
Benefits
UNIVERSAL
Applicable to home care & personal care products.
Benefits
NO RESIDUE
Lower transportation costs than traditional soaps.

Dishwasher Sheet
The Soane Materials’ Dishwasher Detergent Sheet utilizes the technology of the SoaneClean™ matrix to encapsulate dishwash detergent. In this case, you throw the dishwash detergent sheet into the bottom of your dishwasher and run it like normal. The lower spray arm provides enough agitation for the sheet to fully disperse within the first minute of cleaning.
Once dispersed, the dishwasher sprays the surfactant around to evenly coat your dishes as it would with the pod or powder versions of dish detergent. The SoaneClean™ matrix supplies a biobased product that can be packaged in cardboard to provide an all-around biodegradable option for dishwashing products.
