Bespoke detergents and floorcare chemicals in South Africa

16 October 2024

The cleaning and hygiene industry in South Africa generates billions of Rands in revenue every year and is essential to the cleanliness of most commercial and residential buildings. Bleaches, detergents, polishes and shampoos are commonly used to keep floors spotless in supermarkets, restaurants, warehouses and corporate spaces. 

Keeping floors clean is necessary to establish a safe, hygienic, and professional atmosphere. But this requires more than just a mop and bucket; it needs speciality floorcare chemicals and high-quality detergents to remove dirt, grime, and bacteria.

Gold Reef Speciality Chemicals produces various high-performance, bespoke chemicals for the floorcare and detergents sector. Our commitment to world-class chemicals is complemented by our unique speciality services that help us guarantee the ideal products for your company.

Why speciality detergents are needed for floorcare

Generic floor care products and detergents may sound sufficient, but they often cannot meet the unique requirements of a commercial setting. For example, floors in high-traffic areas need a more thorough cleaning regimen than those in low-traffic areas. In addition, certain materials – such as wood, vinyl, or marble – need particular cleaning products to preserve their integrity and aesthetic appeal.

This is where speciality detergents and chemicals for floor maintenance become a necessity. As a leading producer of speciality chemicals in South Africa, Gold Reef is a reliable partner in the floorcare and detergent sector. Our team of professionals uses a thorough research and development (R&D) process to develop customised chemicals for detergent manufacturers and floorcare companies.

Gold Reef has the know-how to create custom chemical solutions, whether it’s an intense degreaser for industrial floors or a mild but efficient cleaning compound for delicate surfaces. All of our formulations go through a rigorous testing process to make sure they not only satisfy the requirements of the customer but also comply with strict international standards. 

Gold Reef’s customised chemicals

We offer a wide variety of specialist chemicals, specially created to improve the efficacy of detergents and floorcare products. These include the following:

  • Acrylic thickeners – By altering the viscosity of cleaning solutions, these chemicals improve rheological properties, application control and prevent detergents from dripping. This results in less product waste and more effective cleaning liquids.

  • Latex polymers – These chemicals form a protective coating on surfaces and are used in sealants and floor polishes. This coating makes floors more resilient to grime, improves the shine and makes the surface easier to clean over time.

  • Wetting agents – These substances improve the cleaning agents’ capacity to disperse and ingest dirt. This means that even on porous surfaces, there will be better stain removal and deeper cleaning.

Why choose Gold Reef as your chemical solutions partner?

For detergent and floorcare manufacturers in South Africa that place a high value on the effectiveness and quality of their products, choosing the right chemical supplier is extremely important. Off-the-shelf chemicals are not always the best solution, so a supplier should have the ability to create tailored chemicals for your products.

Gold Reef creates chemicals that are specifically suited to your unique products and their use cases. This guarantees the best possible cleaning results and ensures the reputation and quality of your detergents. We pride ourselves on our R&D and testing to ensure that we supply world-class chemicals that are both safe and effective.
