Pilot Chemical Introduces Maquat® SWS Detergent Sanitizer, a New EPA-Registered No-Rinse Sanitizer

CINCINNATI, OH – Pilot Chemical Corp., through its subsidiary Mason Chemical Company, announces a new addition to its Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered quaternary compounds product line: Maquat® SWS Detergent Sanitizer (EPA Reg. No. 10324-236). Maquat® SWS Detergent Sanitizer is a nonfood-contact surface sanitizer as well as a no-rinse detergent sanitizer for food-contact surfaces. When used to both pre-clean and sanitize food-contact surfaces, a separate rinse step is not required between pre-cleaning and sanitizing.

A typical sanitizer for food-contact surfaces would require a rinse with potable water after the cleaning step and prior to the sanitization step. Maquat® SWS Detergent Sanitizer eliminates the potable water rinse between cleaning and sanitization, hence the SWS — or Spray, Wipe, Spray — in the product’s name.

“This formula is going to be a real game-changer for our customers. The importance of following label instructions can’t be overstated. Used correctly, Maquat® SWS Detergent Sanitizer reduces overall cleaning time and can help our customers increase productivity and reduce labor costs,” said Richard Rehg, vice president of commercial for Pilot Chemical Corp.

Maquat® SWS Detergent Sanitizer is available for supplemental registration and is well suited for use in a variety of facilities, institutions and businesses, including:

  • Restaurants, bars, institutional kitchens, fast food operations, cafeterias and food establishments.
  • Businesses, office buildings and hotels.
  • Commercial sites, industrial sites, institutional facilities and public places.
  • Bathrooms, restrooms, showers and bath areas.
  • Breweries and bottle-washing facilities.
  • Dairy and poultry farms.
  • Meat and poultry plants.
  • Food-handling and processing areas and food-processing plants.
