Windex® Fast Shine Foam

Provides a liquid base for a product.

Isobutane is a propellant used to dispense a product from a container. It is often used in concert with other propellants such as butane and propane. While isobutane is commonly known for its use as a fuel, for example for camp stoves, in use as a propellant its energy comes from being compressed in a can rather than from being lit or heated.

Propylene Glycol N-Butyl Ether is a solvent that can be found in common household kitchen cleaners. In our products, we use it as a cleaning agent that helps dissolve grease and soil from surfaces.

Propane is a propellant used to dispense a product from a container. It is often used in concert with other propellants such as butane and isobutane. While propane is commonly known for its use as a fuel, for example for grills and portable stoves, in use as a propellant its energy comes from being compressed in a can rather than from being lit or heated.

Ethylene Glycol N-Hexyl Ether is a solvent that can be found in a variety of rust removers, hard surface cleaners and disinfectants. In our products, we use it to break down soils and grease stains.

Ammonium hydroxide is commonly referred to as "ammonia." Many consumers use it at home for cleaning and laundry. It’s a cleaning agent, or "surfactant," that removes dirt, and it can also be used as a pH adjuster that alters the pH of a product to improve stability. Every formula has an optimum pH to make it work best. For example, a formula that’s more acidic works better for soap scum removal. Its opposite, a formula that’s more alkaline, might be more effective at removing grease or greasy soils. We use pH adjusters to make sure we achieve the best pH for a particular job. Also, the pH of a formula can affect how long it lasts within a container – for example limiting its tendency to corrode a can, container or dispenser. Household ammonia has a strong odor; by using ammonium hydroxide in combination with other ingredients, we can achieve the same cleaning results while using much less ammonia.

Sodium C14-17 alkyl sec sulfonate is a wetting agent that can also be found in shampoos and personal care products. We use it in our products to help a formula spread across a surface, making cleaning more efficient.

Tetrasodium iminodisuccinate is a chelator that can also be found in laundry detergents, hand soaps and dishwashing detergents. The word chelator (pronounced "key-lay-tor") comes from the Greek word chele, or claw. Think of a chelator as a tiny claw that reaches out and grabs the minerals in soap scum or soils, to keep them from depositing on a surface. We use tetrasodium iminodisuccinate in products to remove soap scum and mineral deposits. By binding to the soap scum or deposit, it allows them to be rinsed away.

Alkyl polyglycoside is a widely used cleaning agent, or "surfactant," that is derived from sugar, and can be found in many household cleaning products. It removes dirt by loosening it from a surface. It also aids streak-free cleaning.
