Benefits
Introducing “VB1000” is not limited to improving the cleaning process—it brings multifaceted “benefits” and “innovation” to your entire business.
Improved Safety (Ingredients: Water and Minerals Only)
Dramatically improved safety
“VB1000” is primarily composed of water and minerals and delivers “high safety” without any harmful chemicals. Compared with conventional cleaners, there is less concern about skin irritation or health impacts from inhalation, and even in the event of contact, issues are less likely to occur. This helps reduce worker health hazards and occupational accident risk, improving workplace safety.
Reduced Fire Risk (Non-flammable)
Eliminates fire risk
With zero flammability, it helps reduce the risk of fire and explosion. This can lower safety-measure costs at sites handling hazardous materials and mitigate losses in the event of an incident.
Simplified Storage and Management (Not regulated under the Fire Service Act)
Simplifies storage and management
Because it is non-flammable and not classified as a hazardous material under the Fire Service Act, no special hazardous-material warehouse or explosion-proof equipment is required. This reduces storage constraints and simplifies inventory control, lowering both introduction and ongoing management costs. In addition, because it is not subject to chemical risk-assessment management or major regulations, administrative costs can be significantly reduced.
Greatly Simplified Wastewater Treatment (Easy processing)
Reduces wastewater treatment burden
Because it contains no chemical substances, wastewater after use does not require complex treatment processes typical of conventional cleaners. Processing becomes simpler, significantly reducing time and costs while lowering environmental impact.
Smoother Global Transport (No shipping restrictions)
Optimizes global transportation
Because it is not classified as dangerous goods under aviation or maritime regulations, there are no restrictions for international shipping. This frees you from complex dangerous-goods procedures, high freight costs, and constraints related to specific containers or vessels—making global supply chains easier to build and accelerating overseas expansion.
Reduced PPE Burden (Protection as needed)
Reduces PPE burden
Thanks to its safe composition, heavy protective gear often required for chemical cleaners (thick rubber gloves, protective clothing, respirators, etc.) is not necessary. This reduces operator burden, allowing safe work with minimal protection as needed.
Reduced Capital and Maintenance Costs (No explosion-proof specification required)
Reduces equipment investment and maintenance costs
Because it is non-flammable, cleaning equipment does not need explosion-proof specifications. This can significantly reduce initial installation costs and increase flexibility in where equipment can be installed.
High Material Compatibility (Non-corrosive)
Minimal impact on materials
Conventional strongly alkaline cleaners have carried risks such as metal corrosion and deterioration of resins and rubber. Because “VB1000” is composed only of water and minerals, it has been confirmed to be non-corrosive for various metals including cold-rolled steel (SPDD-B), cast iron (FC200), SUS405, and copper (C1100P) (based on test methods compliant with JIS K0100 and JIS K2234; all results were at or below pure water and required values). In addition, for major resin and rubber materials—such as PET, FRP, POM, PVC, PC, ABS, PP, PE, acrylic, plastics, modified polyethylene naphthalate, silicone rubber, and urethane rubber—the average mass change rate was +0.35% and no appearance changes were observed (based on the JIS K7114 test method). This enables safe cleaning of expensive precision parts and delicate materials, contributing to longer product life and stable quality.
