Cleaning Solutions
Keeping your vessels clean and compliant - we work constantly to make sure our cleaning chemicals and equipment meet the highest safety requirements and have the least environmental impact. It’s all about minimizing the risks while maximizing efficiency.
Whether it is essential maintenance tasks in the engine room, or general cleaning of crew and galley areas, the job has to be done. But wherever there is a cleaning task, there is also an opportunity to contribute directly to the operating efficiency of the vessel. This comes not just from your cleaning regimes, but from the cleaning products you use. That is the mentality behind our enhanced range of cleaning products developed at our own chemical factory.
Quality product. Ultrasonic machine has been extremely effective and cost-efficient.

Our solutions cover the full spectrum of essential cleaning and maintenance tasks on board. Designed for the demands of maritime operations, Unitor™ cleaning products are not repurposed industrial solutions. They are built for maritime environments, where seawater, fuel residues, salt buildup, and heavy machinery create complex cleaning challenges. Our chemicals and equipment are developed with crew usability, safety, and global compliance in mind. In every case, our cleaning solutions are backed up by dedicated, single-point customer service, technical support and advice, and a worldwide logistics network that ensures you get the products you need at any time.
Packaging: the move to unbleached cartons
Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond the performance of the cleaning solutions inside; we are actively optimizing every aspect of our supply chain, starting with our packaging. That’s why we have transitioned the carton boxes for our Unitor™ cleaning products to unbleached paperboard, aligning our packaging choices with our operational commitment to a more responsible maritime industry.
Why unbleached cartons matter
Bleached cartons are manufactured using chemical processes that strip away the natural colour of paper pulp, producing a bright white finish. While this may look clean, the bleaching process often involves chlorine and other chemicals, which consume significant water and energy, and can contribute to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
In contrast, unbleached cartons retain the natural brown colour of the pulp and skip the harsh chemical treatments, making them a more eco-friendly and resource-efficient choice.
Key differences:
| Feature | Bleached carton | Unbleached carton (Unitor™) |
| Aesthetic | Bright white finish | Brown, visible fiber finish |
| Chemical use | Requires chlorine or other chemical agents to strip natural color | Eliminates the need for chemical bleaching |
| Resource intensity | Higher consumption of water and energy required | Lower consumption of water and energy during processing |
| Environmental output | Associated with discharge of chlorinated compounds and higher manufacturing emissions | Reduces industrial pollution and greenhouse gas emissions footprint |
This packaging change is one step in our ongoing effort to enhance the sustainability profile of our entire product offering.
