In particular, ND165 is registered in National Sanitation Foundation. In accordance with NSF’s registration program, ND165 is registered under A1 category, and is safe, and at the same time, powerful, enough to be used as a cleanser in food manufacturing facilities, and therefore, is suitable to be used as industrial heavy duty cleanser.
*NSF’s A1 category refers to cleansers that can be used in food manufacturing facilities.

ND165 attacks and disperses grease, oil, sludge, carbon, and other stubborn grime and quickly rinses away the dirt without leaving an oily residue. ND165 can be used safely on most surfaces and won’t harm plastic, rubber, concrete, stone and most metals and paints.

ND165 does not contain any butyl, which may be harmful to human body, or phosphate which causes water pollution.
