We're very excited to announce that starting in January 2009, our "Enhanced General Purpose Grade Purging Compound", better known as U Grade, will replace our current "General Purpose Grade", also known as Advantage Grade. This is fantastic news since customers have seen an average of 30% better cleaning performance and less residue formation with U Grade over Advantage! Further, we're offering the U Grade at the same low prices as Advantage! How can we offer a BETTER-performing grade at a lower price? Simple: we're now manufacturing the U Grade in the U.S. as opposed to importing it from overseas. As always, anytime we cut costs, we pass those savings along to our customers.
U Grade's cleaning power approaches that of our strongest scrubber, EX Grade, but without the glass filler. It is ideal for applications that require higher detergency while maintaining lower residue.
