In addition to being safe for use on food surfaces, it can also be used on a variety of surfaces, which saves you money by not having to buy multiple cleaners to handle different tasks. Even though we have a multitude of products to cater to the different applications in the kitchen (consult our expert if you need cleaning solutions only for certain applications here), we recommend DISAKLEEN as it has multi-purpose features that also be used to clean kitchen equipment, super effective against food residue and also has disinfectant properties that eliminate virues.

When most people think of food poisoning, they think of seafood and meat that is not properly cleaned and sanitized. Little do they know that some other big offenders may slip under the radar such as fresh fruit and vegetables that are served raw in salads, coleslaws, desserts, and garnishes can pose a problem as they can be exposed to harmful bacteria from soil or post-pesticide residue. Use the following products on fruit and vegetables to minimise microorganisms present in them to greatly reduce exposure risk.

OPAL is also used as a cleaner & sanitizer for food contact surfaces and equipment in the Food Processing Industries.
Halal Purifying Cleaner
Globally, the demand for halal certification is growing, requiring all processes leading up to packaging, handling, storage, transportation, and distribution to comply with halal requirements. Halal foods have to be careful prepared and be reconsidered if najis have contaminated the ingredient or food preparation area. In order to clean severe najis, Islam requires proper hygiene by using soil or clay and water mixed 7 times for one day. It is necessary to modify the traditional practice of using any soil or clay at any concentration level for industrial applications. It is necessary to develop specific samak soil and clay standards for industrial applications so that halal requirements can be met and equipment specifications can be met. Furthermore, it must comply with regulations and guidelines regarding the safety and quality of products manufactured. This is why we produce an industrial standard samak clay that meets all of the specifications listed above. Below is detail specification of our samak clay.
SCARAB is used for purifying and cleansing surfaces and equipment in food processing plants and F&B outlets. SCARAB is particularly recommended for cleaning dishes, glasses and kitchen wares in industrial dishwashing machines. SCARAB may be used for purifying skin and body.
As clay minerals have a high specific area and absorption capacity, they can also be used therapeutically for health purposes in pharmaceutical formulations, especially cosmetics and dermatological protectors for topically applied applications. Because of its cation exchange capacity, cooling index, and ability to clean, moisturize, and combat compact lipodystrophies, acne, and cellulite, it is commonly used in aesthetic medicine.
