Muck Daddy™ Named Official Hand Cleaner of Pirelli World Challenge
January 25 2016 - 8:30AM
WC Vision LLC, producers of the Pirelli World Challenge (“PWC”)
racing series, and Amyris, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMRS), the industrial
bioscience company, today announced a new relationship whereby
Amyris’s high-performance cleaning brand, Muck Daddy™
(www.muckdaddy.com), has been named the official hand cleaner of
the PWC racing series.
Muck Daddy, developed by Amyris’s biochemists for more than
decade, is a breakthrough line of high-performance cleaning
products based on Amyris’s proprietary Myralene™ 10 solvent, a
revolutionary ingredient positioned to replace harsh petroleum- and
limonene-based solvents. Muck Daddy’s first release, the High
Performance Hand Cleaner (available with and without pumice), is
USDA Certified Biobased and formulated with industrial workers’
needs and wellness in mind.
Muck Daddy’s Scrubbing Wipes, another innovative product in the
brand’s line, can be used to clean oily, greasy dirt off hands as
well as tools, parts and surfaces. Muck Daddy hand cleaners also
contain Amryis’s premium skincare ingredient, Neossance® squalane,
to moisturize and improve the condition of hands.
In 2016, the Pirelli World Challenge enters its 27th year of
competition following its most competitive racing season in 2015
with series Drivers’ Champions representing six different
manufacturers: Johnny O’Connell (Cadillac), Frankie Montecalvo
(Mercedes-Benz), Colin Thompson (Porsche), Michael Cooper
(Chevrolet), Corey Fergus (Porsche), Jason Wolfe (Kia) and Johan
Schwartz (Chevrolet). Manufacturer titles went to Porsche (GT),
Ford (GTS), Mazda (TC) and Honda (TCA).
“Bringing our Muck Daddy™ cleaning products to the Pirelli World
Challenge is a perfect fit for our brand,” said Jason Voogt, Vice
President, Performance Materials, at Amyris. “Based on our new,
highly-effective, bio-based solvent, Myralene™ 10, our products
work under the most extreme conditions where speed and performance
are critical in a top racing series such as the Pirelli World
Challenge. The PWC racing teams can use our products without
exposing themselves to other petroleum-based cleaning products that
can stink, sting and tear up their hands. Muck Daddy™ is a perfect
brand for the PWC racers.”
"We are very excited to bring Amyris’s high-performance cleaning
brand, Muck Daddy™, to the Pirelli World Challenge in this new
relationship," said Greg Gill, WC Vision President and CEO. “Muck
Daddy™ is a leader in its category with its eco-friendly and
effective cleaning performance. We believe Muck Daddy™ will be a
tremendous asset to our participants as well as our fans. We look
forward to a long relationship with Muck Daddy.”
