“Liquid products allow laundries to use tailored processes to match the type
and quantity of chemicals used to the linen batch and soiling level.”
To get the balance of products right, suppliers of commercial laundry chemicals firstly need to understand their customers’ needs. Whilst clean linen should be a given, there may be other parameters which are important to the laundry, such as reducing energy consumption, both in the wash process and in the drying process. Minimising fresh water may be a priority, or perhaps reducing the effluent burden, or extending the life of textiles. When setting up a new process, choice of laundry chemicals plus expertise in machinery operation is essential. For example, excessive use of certain bleaches or alkalis could reduce textile life, so whilst the textiles can be brilliantly white, they may fall apart rapidly.
In the drive to reduce energy usage and extend textile life, whilst still maintaining brilliant cleaning performance, Christeyns developed an innovative new process and associated products, known as Cool Chemistry, originally aimed at healthcare and hospitality sectors.
A patented innovation that combines equipment and chemistry, Cool Chemistry is able to deliver improved whiteness and increased disinfection over conventional

chemistry but at a reduced temperature, the detergent chemistry operates at a neutral pH, in place of traditional highly alkaline chemicals. This allows less water to be used for rinsing, and the neutral pH reduces chemical damage to textiles to provide extended useable life of textiles.
In 2016 Christeyns introduced Cool Chemistry into the Fishers laundry in Coatbridge, along with a new wash system, making it one of the most energy efficient laundries in Europe. The systems put in place at Fishers allowed them to recover heat from recycled water via heat exchanger technology, which permits lower temperature washing. Christeyns’ Cool Chemistry chemicals have been developed to facilitate this. The use of neutral pH chemistry combined with low temperature washing (below 40°C), and safe effective bleach is what makes the concept unique in minimising damage to textiles.
In the short time since its launch, Cool Chemistry has become one of the fastest growing washing concepts in the UK market. It provides a winning solution – saving customers money whilst improving results. Textile lifespan is affected by a number of factors, but we have been able to make a big impact on two of the key influences – exposure to aggressive chemicals and the use of high temperatures during the wash process.
It is the continued development of laundry science and the modification of chemical blends, partnered with technological advancements, that is leading the way towards positive changes in the way laundries do business.
