Market focus

AD Chemicals works with professional users in industrial markets where cleaning is an important part of maintenance, production, preparation or process continuity. The business unit supports companies that require effective and reliable cleaning solutions for demanding applications, rather than standard cleaning products.

Its customers are active in industrial production, maintenance, technical services, transport related activities and other professional environments where contamination, process conditions and practical use determine the cleaning approach.

Technical expertise

AD Chemicals combines chemical product knowledge with practical experience in industrial cleaning processes. This includes support in selecting suitable cleaning products, assessing application methods and aligning the chemistry with the substrate, contamination and working environment.

The technical support focuses on effective cleaning performance in real use conditions. AD Chemicals helps customers choose solutions that support process efficiency, practical handling and reliable results in professional industrial applications.

Application support

Every industrial cleaning process is influenced by the type of contamination, substrate, temperature, contact time, application method, safety requirements and operational conditions. AD Chemicals supports customers in evaluating these factors and translating them into a practical cleaning approach.

This application driven way of working helps customers improve cleaning reliability, reduce unnecessary process variation and select chemistry that fits the actual working environment.
