Tennant Company (NYSE: TNC) today announced ec-H2O NanoClean™,
the next generation of the successful, sustainable cleaning
technology ec-H2O™. This next generation solution offers the same
great benefits of the original and now cleans better, cleans more
soils, and is effective in more applications. Tennant Company is a
world leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing solutions
that help create a cleaner, safer, healthier world.

Proprietary ec-H2O technology by Tennant Company is a globally
well-adopted cleaning technology introduced in 2008 and
commercialized on a family of automated floor scrubbing machines.
Since then, advances in nanobubble technology led to ec-H2O
NanoClean, the next generation of Tennant’s innovative cleaning
technologies. The name NanoClean refers to the creation of
nano-scale bubbles that are an important part of the cleaning
mechanism.
Like the original ec-H2O, ec-H2O NanoClean technology
electrically converts water into an innovative cleaning solution
that cleans effectively, saves money and reduces environmental
impact compared to daily floor cleaning chemicals. This converted
water is created by an on-board e-cell that generates millions of
microscopic bubbles—nanobubbles—per milliliter of solution. These
nanobubbles then promote the cleaning efficacy of the solution.
Bulk nanobubbles may be defined as nanoscopic gaseous domains
less than 1000 nanometers in diameter. They are spherical in shape,
mobile and suspended in an aqueous environment/solution at ambient
temperatures. Studies by independent parties have determined that
they are gas-filled and stable for minutes to hours. Tennant and
third-party scientists have demonstrated in the lab a direct
connection between nanobubbles and cleaning efficacy which Tennant
has translated into improved cleaning performance in customer
environments. Experiences from customers using ec-H2O NanoClean in
their environments are documented at NanoClean Customer
Testimonials.
“There are thousands of nanobubble patents issued globally,”
according to Mark Citsay, Tennant Company’s Chief Scientist. “When
we first explored how nanobubbles might relate to cleaning
technology, we found that nanobubble technology is already
commercialized in numerous applications even as scientific
understanding of nanobubbles continues to evolve. Among these
applications are contaminant removal during silicon wafer cleaning,
removal of salt build-up on bridges, and municipal water
treatment,” Citsay added. ”Tennant Company has worked closely with
leaders in this discipline to be the first company to correlate the
presence of bulk nanobubbles with floor cleaning performance.”
“We believe our finding that nanobubble technology correlates to
cleaning performance is groundbreaking science for our customers
and for the advancement of our industry. With more than 65,000
ec-H2O-equipped machines sold to more than 7,500 customers, we know
ec-H2O works,” said Chris Killingstad, President and CEO of Tennant
Company. “We’re thrilled to build on this success with ec-H2O
NanoClean, continuing the trend of Tennant bringing innovative
technology and solutions to help our customers address their
toughest cleaning challenges.”
The ec-H2O NanoClean technology is currently available on the
Tennant T300 and Nobles SS300 and will soon be available on Tennant
Company’s full line of commercial scrubbers.
