  Detalles de la demanda :
  
  An international household cleaning products group with offices in Brazil is seeking technologies and approaches that enable the coverage of all facets of an irregular shaped hard surface with liquid streams. This is to be performed within an enclosed space to facilitate the washing of soiled items to provide at least 1 of the following benefits:
  
  • Faster cleaning
  • Lower water consumption
  • Lower energy usage
  • Lower cleaning chemical consumption
  
  Technical Specifications / Specific technical requirements of the request
  High energy and/or pressure washing of all sides of multi-faceted irregular shaped hard surfaced item contained within a sealed enclosed space, in our particular application, is particularly challenging due to the following:
  
  • The significant variety in the size, shape and surface complexity of the materials to be washed
  • The requirements to cover the entire surface in a very short wash time (< 1 min)
  • The need to cover all surfaces of the item to be washed
  • The requirement to make a low cost, highly robust solution able to withstand daily use with little or no maintenance from the end user.
  • The requirement to perform liquid pressurization and distribution/coverage within tight instantaneous power consumption constraints (< 0.5kw).
  • The need to maintain a low total water usage requirement (use of a water reservoir of < 2L ideally).
  
  The solution should also meet the following requirements for incorporation into a consumer electrical product:
  
  1) Of sufficient robustness and simplicity to withstand daily use for > 3 years
  2) Able to work without significant maintenance or intervention required by the end user
  3) Not present a danger in use or hazard to the end consumer
  4) Ideally offer scope for patent protection with the desired application and format.

Buscamos "long-lasting freshness technology" para productos de limpieza de superficies duras

hard surface, cleaning, Freshness, Perfume delivery, Detergency, Pro-perfume
- Resultado deseado
  
  Los productos de limpieza de superficies duras actuales generalmente dependen de la tecnología convencional de perfumeria para proporcionar aroma a las superficies que se limpian, y para liberarlo al medio ambiente. Incluso cuando están formulados para ser altamente persistentes, los perfumes convencionales rara vez alcanzan un efecto que dura más de un par de horas. Creemos que los consumidores valorarían que los productos de limpieza de superficies duras pudieran ofrecer innovadores beneficios de longevidad del perfume, por ejemplo, una duración de al menos medio día.
  
  Los productos de limpieza de superficies duras actuales típicamente contienen niveles bajos de surfactante, y este agente tensioactivo es necesario para mantener el perfume disuelto. Las necesidades principales que deben ser abordadas son: (i) asegurar una correcta liberación del perfume a la superficie a limpiar y (ii) controlar la liberación de estos perfumes en el "headspace" después de que la superficie se haya secado, a través de (iii) una tecnología que sea estable y compatible con una formulación diluida del producto de limpieza

Seeking: Cues that tell a consumer when home sanitizing is effective and complete

test, sensor, home sanitizing
- Resultado deseado
  
  People clean, but despite the assurances of cleaning product manufacturers, how do they know that the surfaces and other objects they have cleaned are in fact clean, or that they remain so? We're seeking a direct indicator or cue that the cleaning process is complete and effective.
  
  12/08/10 - El deadline de esta demanda ha caducado
  
  Compartir demanda
  
  Detalles de la demanda :
  
  BACKGROUND
  
  Germs that affect people -- bacteria, viruses, and spores -- migrate from place to place when people touch areas such as eyes, nose, and mouth and then touch other surfaces such as counters, doorknobs, handles, and keyboards. In fact, every surface touched by a finger is probably laden with invisible bacteria.
  
  There are many products effective against such organisms. They kill them. They capture them. They wash them away. In some cases, the products leave in place a residual effect that kills new germs that land there. The effectiveness of such products varies, but before-and-after tests can verify how well they work.
  
  However, there is no direct way for a consumer to know when a germicidal product has been effective or when it has completed its mission of killing germs.
  
  We're looking for convincing indicators or "cues" that tell a consumer when a home sanitizing process is effective and complete.
  
  Such a cue could be:
  
  o A color change or a change from opaque to clear.
  
  o Evaporation or sublimation.
  
  o An odor (or lack of an odor).
  
  o A change in feel or texture.
  
  o A thermal change.
  
  o A sensor substance that reacts to the presence or absence of bacteria.
  
  A cue that works in concert with another ingredient, or cue that tells a consumer that it is time to disinfect might also be an option.
  
  We want to incorporate such cues into our line of household and consumer products. An additional advantage to such a cue could be a quick consumer test to see whether a cleaned surface is "still clean" -- for example: pass a treated cloth over a surface and if there is no color change, the surface is still killing germs.
  
  Alarming the consumer is not our aim: we want to assure the consumer that the cleaning process is complete, effective, thorough, and residual.
  
  CONSTRAINTS
  
  o Your proposed solution should not increase the complexity of existing cleaning tasks, or require new tasks.
  
  o Applicable to a variety of surfaces and materials.
  
  o The cue must be believable, reliable, and accurate.
  
  POSSIBLE SOLUTION AREAS
  
  Microencapsulation
  
  Nano-crystals
  
  Fragrance release or odor elimination technology
  
  Test technologies that provide cues or changes in the presence of analytes.

Seeking: Technologies for disinfecting soft surfaces, electronics, and other parts of the house

disinfecting, surface
- Resultado deseado
  
  We're looking for products and methods that clean and disinfect soft surfaces (curtains and couches), electronics, auto interiors, cell phones, doorknobs, and all the nooks and crannies in the house that are not cleaned routinely, and so can have the greatest impact on germ reduction and illness prevention.
  
  12/08/10 - El deadline de esta demanda ha caducado
  
  Compartir demanda
  
  Detalles de la demanda :
  
  BACKGROUND
  
  Many surfaces in the home are continually re-infected by casual touch and the germs we carry into the home with us. High-touch objects include furniture, remote-controls, and electronics that we may forget to disinfect or that are inherently difficult to disinfect.
  
  Adequate solutions exist for cleaning windows, countertops, sinks, brass, chrome, and similar hard-surfaces. (Although the process of cleaning those surfaces can be improved.) However, without special effort, a surprising number of surfaces in the home rarely get cleaned. For example: doorknobs, washers and dryers, vacuum cleaner handles, light switches, steering wheels, athletic equipment (at home and at the gym), cell phones, and virtually all soft surfaces such as curtains and teddy bears. Auto interiors may get a periodic vacuuming, but rarely a thorough cleaning.
  
  Many of these surfaces are difficult to reach or difficult to clean in-place. A homeowner may clean curtains or the couch only once in several years. There is no good conventional way to clean several types of objects, such as computers and stereos, because of their electronic nature.
  
  We're looking for cleaning methods, products, and devices that go beyond conventional hard-surface cleaning, and into the nooks-and-crannies, the un-cleanable soft surfaces, into the electronics, and that pursue the places we forget (such as doorknobs and athletic equipment).
  
  Ideally, your proposed solution
  
  o Must have data demonstrating efficacy.
  
  o Offers a convenient path to cleaning with minimal extra effort or new tasks.
  
  o Provides broad-spectrum anti-bacterial action, a rapid kill, and/or long residual effects.
  
  o Is a "consumable" (like a paper towel).
  
  CONSTRAINTS
  
  o Provably effective
  
  o Offers a believable cue that cleaning has been effective
  
  o Delights the consumer with its thoroughness
  
  o Effective on soft surfaces, electronics, and "nooks and crannies."
  
  POSSIBLE SOLUTION AREAS
  
  Misting or through-the-air delivery

  Description:
  
  In Europe regulations restricting the use of phosphates and other phosphorus compounds in many consumer detergents are being adopted.
  
  The most widely used detergent phosphate is sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), but various phosphates of sodium, potassium and other minerals are also used for specific applications. The reason why STPP is used in detergents is that it performs several very useful functions. Phosphates are able to soften water by deactivating water hardness minerals through sequestration (holding metal ions) or precipitation (removing metal ions from solution as insoluble materials). By binding the water hardening ions (Ca2+ and Mg2+) it prevents formation of filming and hard water deposits. An important functional property of phosphates is that they contribute to the overall detergency of a cleaner by providing and controlling alkalinity and preventing hard water interference with surfactants. Phosphates also exhibit a deflocculating property that helps to prevent formation of large particles of dirt which are easier to wash from the surface of substrates such as ceramics, glass and metal.
  
  Since phosphates fulfil a number of different functions; it may not necessarily be easy to replace them with a single ingredient formulated in the way STPP is currently used, however a single replacement solution for the problem would be preferred.
  
  Summary of Need /Scope of the Brief:
  
  To identify providers of alternative phosphate-free technology approaches for detergent applications that ideally have the potential for cost parity and performance parity with, for example, sodium tripolyphosphate.
  
  Providers are defined as:
  
  1. Universities with specific scale inhibition, or sequestering expertise,
  2. Startup and medium sized businesses
  
  Potential solutions from other industry sectors that can be adapted are also acceptable as are expert partners for collaborative work to design and synthesize custom chemistry that meet the criteria
  
  Detailed Technical Requirements:
  
  Provide alternative technology solutions to phosphate that may become cost parity and performance parity.
  
  The solution should provide:
  
   Identity of proposed technology solution with detailed specifications,
   Potential suppliers of materials and indicative costs if known.
   Indications of any formulation issues
   Availability of sufficient quantities of samples for experimental work.
   Should be able to be supplied at commercial quantities by January 2017.
  
  Magnetic, RF or electrochemical scale prevention devices are not in scope.
  
  Additional Information:
  
  1. Not be harmful for human use.
  2. Manufacturing process proposed should not be cost prohibitive
  3. Overall product cost appropriate for consumer use products
  4. Technology ideally to be REACH compliant
  5. Ideally offer scope for patent protection with the desired application and format if custom chemistry solution
  6. Have IP protection if a current product.
  7. Suitable for multiple formulation formats ( solids, powders, liquids, gels)

- Resultado deseado
  
  We need components to make up one or more systems that can remove surface contamination (biofilms), lime scum, lime scale buildup, ameliorate water hardness, remove mold, mildew, and similar spores, handle soap scum, and remove surface detritus from a variety of materials.

  Compartir demanda
  
  Detalles de la demanda :
  
  We are not currently looking for a "cleaning spray" (although that may form part of the solution), but rather for components that can contribute to a complete cleaning system that can work autonomously or semi-autonomously on a selection of surfaces, some horizontal, some vertical, some in complex shapes.
  
  BACKGROUND
  The materials we need to treat are both synthetic and natural. They include stone, fiberglass gel coat, plastic and other long-chain molecule materials, steel, concrete (sealed), glass, enamel, and china. Such materials occur in many industries, such as marine construction and maintenance, masonry, medical equipment, lapidary work, industrial plants, and a host of others.
  The materials vary in surface characteristics such as porosity, density, texture, flexibility/brittleness, and depth. Some materials adhere to substrates, some are consistent throughout, and some have surface finishes that must not be damaged (for example, gel coat).
  The process of cleaning such surfaces likewise varies by industry and may be known by several names: polishing, antifouling, anti-soiling, sterilization, anti-bacterial, and anti-mold/mildew are a few.
  We're looking to assemble complete systems - a system is a device and a consumable stream - that can clean, polish, scrub (or whatever) such materials, remove dirt and biofilm, and render them clean enough for use in a home. Ideally, we'd find a system in use in an industry such as marine hull maintenance (fiber glass hulls, for example) that we could adapt to our own industry. Or perhaps a stone mason uses a system for cleaning his natural surfaces before installing them in a home, and we could adapt his methods. Or a system used by hospitals to disinfect MRI tunnels might be what we need.
  
  We're open to your proposals.
  
  CONSTRAINTS
  o Environmentally friendly, safe for humans and pets, and output treatable by municipal systems
  o Does not damage surfaces
  o Automated or semi-automated operation
  
  POSSIBLE SOLUTION AREAS
  Various industries: medicine, stone, marine, construction, etc.
  Local products not currently on the world market
  Ultrasonic/aeration technologies
  
  Field Of Use and Intended Application
  Consumer applications
  
  Desired Outcome
  We hope to find a complete system that can remove dirt, detritus, biofilm, and similar contaminants from a variety of surfaces. Leer más

Methods that detect contaminants, microbes, or general cleanliness on hand and surfaces

contaminant, microbes, surface, hand
- Resultado deseado
  
  We are seeking methods that detect contaminants, microbes, or general cleanliness in the air, on hands, in water, on food, on surfaces, and in similar situations so that consumers and commercial users can clean more thoroughly and feel confident that they have eliminated the problem.

  Detalles de la demanda :
  
  Most people take cleaning as a matter of faith. They wash, wipe, mop, and swab and assume that the apple, the countertop, the cup, the linoleum, and the sink are clean. They sniff the air and inspect the toilet. But they don?t actually know whether they've been successful. These concerns also affect commercial cleaners in hospitals, restaurants, and similar establishments.
  
  We want to find ways to know if cleaning has been successful (or if it's currently needed), and our interest goes beyond the countertop. For example, is there lead or mercury in the tap water? Is there mold, dander, pollen, or other allergens in the air? Are the dishes in the dishwasher fully sanitized? Is there salmonella, E. coli, staph, strep - or worse, MRSA or C. difficile - on a surface?
  
  Learning that contamination exists is part of the problem; confirming that it has been eliminated is the other. Solutions may range from simple color changes in a counter-wipe (it no longer turns purple and therefore microbes have been eliminated) through simple test kits, to a sniffer that constantly monitors the air and releases anti-contaminant ingredients when needed.
  
  Combined solutions that can both detect and eliminate contaminants are of high interest, for both home consumer and commercial applications. Your solution may be low-tech or high-tech, automatic or user-actuated. The solution should be fast, easy, and actionable - that is, it should provide its information quickly that contamination exists or has been eliminated; it should be easy to use; and it should indicate a condition that the user can remedy.
  
  CONSTRAINTS
  
  Fast, easy, and actionable: quick results, easy to use, a way to remedy the problem.
  
  Should have a consumables element.
  
  Cost is a consideration for products intended for consumer use.
  
  Close to market or currently on the market.
  
  POSSIBLE SOLUTION AREAS
  
  Tests that react to protein shells around microbes, molds, pollen
  
  Color-changing reactions for lead, mercury, other metals
  
  Tests that react to the presence of fluorine compounds
  
  Sniffers and air-sampling technology adaptable from HVAC and clean-room technologies.
  
  Field Of Use and Intended Application
  Home and commercial cleaning.
  
  Desired Outcome
  We’d like to find a range of simple, easy-to-use tests that help consumers and commercial cleaners know that their cleaning is successful.

  Background details:
  
  1. The most important red fruit soils derive their colour from the fruits of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) and various types of pepper (Capsicum annuum).
  2. The most important carotenoids that we need to remove/bleach are lycopene, beta carotene, phytoene, capsanthin and capsorubin.
  3. Classical detergent bleach technology based on hydrogen peroxide or peracetic acid formation is too hydrophilic to be effective on carotenoids.
  4. Diacyl peroxide bleaching agents are very effective but not stable enough and not very selective for carotenoids vs dyes.
  5. Metal catalyst bleaches are also effective but also suffer from a lack of selectivity.
  6. Carotenoid soils are usually associated with lipids and/or fatty acids and these could be a species that is targeted.
  7. A previous approach pursued has been to use carotenoid binding peptides to direct bleaching chemistry to the soils, although this has not been commercialized.
  8. Carotenoids break down naturally via thermal, photo and enzymatic mechanisms. It might be possible to use formulated additives to accelerate these processes and some enzyme classes have already been evaluated without success.
  
  The novel material or technology solution provided should:
  
  1. Deliver consumer-noticeable benefits in a single laundry or automatic dishwashing cycle
  2. Be suitable for incorporation into liquid and solid detergent forms, with good stability over a 6 month shelf life
  3. Be sufficiently well-targeted to avoid damage to the integrity of fabrics, dishware or appliance parts.
  4. Be effective at low addition levels, i.e. <5% in product and at a cost appropriate for a detergent that has a final cost to consumer of ~20c per dose. i.e. Catalytic approaches are likely to be the most successful.
  5. Have a good human and environmental safety profile.
  6. Be exclusive/proprietary with freedom to practise in our fields of use
  7. Perform well at low wash temperatures, e.g. 10-30C
  8. Exhibit good tolerance to other detergent ingredients, e.g. surfactants, bleaches
  9. Ideally perform well over the neutral and alkaline pH ranges up to pH 11
  
  The novel material or technology solution provided may:
  1. Operate by a soil removal or bleaching mechanism
  2. Be chemical or biochemical (e.g. enzyme or other protein) in origin Leer más

  Aromachology studies the effect of aroma upon human psychology. Specific scents stimulate the olfactory pathways in the brain and can sub-consciously induce feelings of reassurance, confidence, relaxation, happiness and well-being, amongst other emotions. It differs from Aromatherapy, which is associated with the use of essential oils to enhance wellbeing in a physical way.
  
  Our client is seeking scientific evidence (academic or commercial) that such an association exists between aroma and emotional state, and is keen to connect with experts working in this field. The company is also keen to find commercial partners who understand how to incorporate this knowledge/technology into a range of products.
  
  Technology could be applied to textiles, fibres, plastics, papers, packaging or fragrance dispensers for use in the following applications:
  
  - Hospital environments to reassure patients undertaking treatments – alleviate stress / depression
  - Reduction of anxiety associated with flying, by introducing scents into aeroplane cabins
  - Impregnation of bed linen with relaxing aromas to help induce sleep
  - Building confidence around the use of medical / personal products
  - Reassurance of the efficacy of cleaning / hygiene products
  - Reduction of perceived pain
  - Complementing psychological counselling
  - Customised fragrances – e.g. energising, confidence boosting
  - Environmental marketing – enforcing brand recognition, influencing purchasing behaviour in the retail sector for spas, hotels, supermarkets
  
  We have a particular interest for a variety of healthcare environments where solutions are sought that can reinforce the consumer’s emotional well-being, by triggering feelings of confidence and reassurance where apprehension and anxiety are more normal.
  
  Our client is keen to find knowledgeable partners with whom to collaborate in the development of innovative solutions. They are open to engage in a variety of activities, including joint development, licensing and R&D relationships and are most interested in opportunities that will allow them some form of exclusivity or enable them to be first to market.

- Resultado deseado
  
  This organization needs a way to render dirty water clean enough to use for washing or sanitary purposes. The method must be effective, low cost, and not require power.
  
  The dirty or waste water may contain a variety of contaminants that need to be removed. Issues this organization has identified and would like to be able to tackle in particular are:
  
  o Reduce/remove dirt particles in the water to reduce turbidity <5NTU
  
  o Remove surfactants (particularly Linear alkylbenzene sulphonate (LA

  Compartir demanda
  
  Detalles de la demanda :
  
  Clean water for drinking and washing is in short supply in most of the world. Besides hydration (a critical world-wide need), water is necessary for washing and sanitary needs.
  
  When clothes are washed in a bucket or small tub that contains a minimal amount of water, the wash and rinse water rapidly become burdened with dirt and soap. This organization would like to find a way to remove the dirt and surfactants from the used water -- cheaply -- thus effectively multiplying the clean water for use in rinsing. Ideally, your water-cleaning method could make dirty water potable.
  
  A typical first rinse laundry water contains a surfactant concentration of 0.1-0.2 g per L, a turbidity of ~300 NTU and a pH of ~9. Typical surfactants are anionic surfactants such as linear alkylbenzene sulphonates and non-ionic surfactants such as, ethoxylated alcohols.
  
  CONSTRAINTS
  
  o Your solution should present no safety or eco-toxicity issues.
  
  o The solution should not be a powered device.
  
  o Time constraints: Your solution should clean up ~10 L of water in about 2 minutes
  
  o Easy to clean and maintain. A technical solution that requires a great deal of water to clean would not be satisfactory.
  
  o The target market is exceptionally cost-sensitive in terms of initial equipment acquisition, and in operation, maintenance, and upkeep.
  
  POSSIBLE SOLUTION AREAS
  
  A number of solutions exist for waste water treatment and purification. If any can be used within the cost, power and volume constraints they would be of interest.
  
  Potential technology solution areas
  
  o Absorbants (activated carbon, silica gel), antifoams
  
  o Filtration/separation/sieves/membranes
  
  o Coagulation/flocculation
  
  o Aeration
  
  o Chemical
  
  o UV
  
  Field Of Use and Intended Application
  Washing water in rural and clean-water-poor areas of the world.
  
  Desired Outcome
  Ideally, you will provide a method or device that can reduce water turbidity, remove surfactants (predominantly LAS surfactants), render the water a neutral pH, and clean about 10L of water in about 2 minutes.
  
  Previously Attempted Solutions
  The current method uses flocculation. This clumps together fine particles using flocculants, thus improving filterability of the particles. It is a method used in water purification plants and sewage treatment.
  
  Comments
  This company is open to a wide variety of deals and is able to support early stage joint development work.

- Resultado deseado
  
  Estamos buscando socios tecnológicos para ayudar a impulsar el desarrollo de nuevos productos antimicrobianos para superficies y manos (es decir, desinfectantes, esterilizantes, antisépticos fríos). Nuestro objetivo es identificar enfoques probados para el control de la transmisión de la forma esporulada de Clostridium difficile.
  
  09/05/12 - El deadline de esta demanda ha caducado
  
  Compartir demanda
  
  Detalles de la demanda :
  
  Clostridium difficile is a spore-forming bacterium that is a costly problem for healthcare environments, causing patients to suffer diarrhoea of varying severity. When it encounters unfavourable conditions (such as being outside the body), it forms an endospore that has increased resistance and enables it to remain viable for many months. The spores are easily transmitted between contaminated surfaces or hands by patients and/or healthcare workers and are not destroyed by most chemical disinfectants or antiseptics. Whilst some solutions (e.g.10% bleach) retain some ability to inactivate the C.difficile spores, the aggressive nature (odour, degradation of surfaces and effect on skin) means they are limited in their application.
  
  The complex and protective structure of the C.difficile spore contribute to its environmental and chemical stability. The spore core and outer layers (i.e. coat, cortex) contain different elements such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and peptidoglycan that protect against stresses such as ultraviolet and chemicals. The spore protects the bacteria until it senses specific effectors (germinants) and environmental conditions are appropriate, allowing the C.difficile vegetative (actively growing) bacteria to emerge (i.e. germinate).
  
  Solution
  Potential solutions may come from commercial development, academic research or defence applications (e.g. decontamination / protection against anthrax), and could include means of:
  
  - Treating the spores that eliminates the potential for infectivity
  - Rendering bacteria spores susceptible to conventional disinfectants that are already effective against vegetative bacteria
  - Treating the bacteria or spore so this it is irreversibly locked into its spore form
  
  The client is keen to find safe, effective and easy to use solutions that demonstrate the following criteria:
  
  - Data to support high level of efficacy within short contact/exposure time (aim is for solution capable of achieving 4+ logs (>99.99%) of C.difficile spore inactivation in <60 seconds)
  - Acceptable safety and toxicity profiles (ideally skin compatible)
  - Materials compatibility (no degradation of materials/surfaces in healthcare environment)
  - Acceptable cost-in-use (solutions with realistic cost estimates for high volume applications)
  - Acceptable aesthetics (e.g. odor profile)
  - Established intellectual property coverage and a limited regulatory path
  - Proven efficacy against a current regulatory standard
  
  We appreciate some solutions may not yet fulfill all of the above (e.g. 3 log inactivation at 10mins), so are happy to review opportunities that may be at an early stage of development or could benefit from commercial involvement. Products could include conventional wet disinfectants (e.g. spray, wipe, surface saturation), non-permanent coatings applied by end user, or devices / processes that physically treat and protect surfaces / skin / rooms. Chemical-/biological- based solutions or those with consumable element are of most interest.
  
  Our client is a multinational specialist provider of cleaning solutions for consumer, commercial and institutional users. The company has extensive R&D capabilities, but is actively searching for innovative technology providers they can work with to develop proven solutions for this application.

Technology to allow production of aluminium food & beverage cans with little or no water

aluminium drawing & ironing, waterless systems, closed loop, non-toxic
- Resultado deseado
  
  We are searching for innovative technologies, systems, products and / or materials to allow aluminium food and beverage cans to be manufactured with less or no water requirement. A closed loop system with no toxic waste products would also be considered a significant improvement.
  
  30/11/10 - El deadline de esta demanda ha caducado
  
  Compartir demanda
  
  Detalles de la demanda :
  
  Background:
  The production of aluminium cans is capital intensive and involves numerous process steps, many of which require water and / or water-based lubricants, as a cooling agent, and in particular to wash away fines, lubricant residues, etc prior to protecting, coating, filling and sealing. Typically, 15 - 65 gallons of water are required per 1000 cans (differs between individual plants). Our client is looking to drastically reduce this usage by adopting new forming techniques, novel ‘washless’ or waterless lubrication and / or cooling materials or mechanisms, and closed loop systems whereby the water that is used can be cleaned for re-use in the plant.
  
  Problems:
  - The drawing and wall ironing process generates a great deal of heat / friction (aluminium is reduced from gauge of ~0.25mm to ~100microns), hence the need for cutting oil / lubricants and coolants.
  - The cans must be scrupulously clean prior to coating on both sides (to prevent corrosion and allow printing), hence a 4-stage washing process. This includes the use of etching chemicals such as HF.
  - If employing a closed loop system the resulting waste sludge is classified as hazardous due to the aluminium particulates / fines (up to 30 microns) and various chemicals involved in the production process. This is expensive to remove.
  - The manufacturing process uses a number of solvents and other hazardous chemicals which not only contaminate the waste stream but give off toxic emissions meaning the sites on which plants can be placed are restricted.
  
  Solutions:
  Potentially any technology that allows the production of cans without water, or with as little water as possible, will be considered, including:-
  - Alternative forming techniques, e.g. without lubrication / coolant
  - Improved die technology, e.g. coatings for dies / tooling to operate at lower temperatures
  - Alternative cooling systems / mechanisms, e.g. cooling surface of the dies
  - Novel lubrication systems, such as a combined lubricant and coating, which doesn’t need to be washed off, or is water soluble, or can be removed without water (solutions could include pre-coated aluminium and polymer laminates, etc)
  - Waterless or ‘washless’ cleaning systems
  - New coatings / lacquers with ‘cleaner’ chemical content and avoiding use of VOCs
  - Alternative ‘greener’ mechanisms for etching fines from surface of the can (HF is currently used)
  - Water treatment systems that reduce or remove the usage of chemical agents, as well as the aluminium residues, to render the waste non-hazardous and thus potentially recyclable.
  
  Our client does NOT currently use silicon in their production process due to difficulties with contamination – therefore, we prefer not to use a silicone based solution unless it can be shown to not be detrimental to other processes, or could be removed completely from the can / equipment.
  
  The client is an established manufacturer, well used to developing best practice for their production plants. There is an ongoing economic and environmental requirement to reduce the water usage of their plants, and therefore minimise the impact to the local area. Considerable work has already been done to reduce consumption, but the client is looking for step-change technology to create a plant of the future. They are keen to simplify the production process, remove hazardous chemicals and generally create a ‘clean’ process that minimises use of local resources. The company has in-house development capabilities and will consider most forms of commercial collaboration, including licensing, joint development and acquisition. Any technology should have the potential to be scaled for high volume processes Leer más
