6.0

Active Mechanism

mixed surfactant cleaning with silicone conditioning

Surfactants

5 (nonionic, cationic)

Expert Analysis

The disclosed formulation centers around a specialized amino-functional siloxane surfactant that serves dual cleaning and sealing functions in a single step. This silicone-based component works alongside nonionic and cationic surfactants to clean while depositing a hydrophobic layer that enhances existing coatings and sealants.

Key Differentiators

  • Contains amino-functional siloxane surfactant for simultaneous cleaning and surface sealing
  • Specifically formulated to extend the lifespan of existing ceramic coatings and sealants

Potential Concerns

  • Carries 'Danger' signal word despite partial ingredient disclosure, indicating significant hazardous components
  • Low transparency rating with only regulated ingredients disclosed, limiting full safety assessment
