Vitech International - Continuing to Innovate


June 2017- Win Chemicals LTD (a Canadian company) and Vitech International Inc. announce a joint effort for                                     expansion into the European Union 

Back in 2016, both companies invested a considerable amount of time and cost into developing a product line that would be compliant with REACH regulations. This strong product offering has allowed us to fully commit to the European market and as a result create a new startup company called TriadaChem Ltd.  This new venture is based in Europe and finally services this market with the same expertise and consultative approach that has made Vitech successful for well over 20 years. 


Vitech launches QHD

Continuing to expand the Q family of products, QHD is a powerful surfactant system for heavy duty degreasing. QHD (stands for ‘Q-Heavy Duty’) has exceptional cleaning capabilities especially in lower dilution systems. This technology significantly extends the boundaries of water based cleaning.

Vitech launches iQLF 

A breakthrough in high detergency low foam cleaning. First generation LFQ broke through the barrier of low foam cleaning with good detergency. With a continued push in the low foam category, iQLF takes significant steps forward providing higher dilution rates, and significantly better detergency for automatic parts washers and floor scrubbers to name a few. Depending on your application, both the iQLF or LFQ will offer amazing detergency and degreasing without the foam. Ask our technical experts which of these two low foam surfactants would be right for your formula!

Vitech completes its regulatory review of its product offerings for Europe

Vitech completes its regulatory review of its product offerings for Europe, and introduces a REACH compliant list of 26 chemistries. This is helping enable North American customer’s to expand into the EU, as well as supporting Vitech’s interests in EU markets. 


Canadian patent awarded for Vitech’s ALB.

As safe alternatives to hydrofluoric acid, ALB and APW offer strong performance relative to hydrofluoric acid, without the serious health effects on workers and their safety, as well as the damage to glass and metal surfaces that can occur with HF based products.

Vitech leads the charge in launching GHS SDS’s 6 months before the deadline.

With these new GHS changes come new pictograms which are resulting in chaos with many customers whom require costly label changes. Vitech is minimizing the impact of this because our “core chemistries” are not classified as corrosive under GHS. Another testament to the safety and performance of Vitech’s Q chemistries. 


Major head office renovations…preparing for the future.

Head office undergoes major renovations to enable the growth with additional staff and expanding its lab capabilities.


Vitech launches eQi

Vitech launches eQi, a newer addition to the Q family of readily biodegradable high-performance surfactants.  eQi is a highly economical surfactant with the outstanding wetting and detergency typical of the Q surfactant family. eQi helps Vitech gain traction in the parts washing industry and oil and gas sector with its ability to replace solvents in numerous cleaning applications.

Vitech International Launches LFQ, a low foam surfactant with powerful detergency

Vitech International's pursuit of the 'holy grail' of surfactant technology, a low foam surfactant that actually has great detergency, has finally come to fruition. LFQ is designed to have the strong wetting and detergency characteristics of our flagship Q3 technology but without the foam. It is also designed to offer customers the ability to lower costs by being low foam at all temperatures, saving on energy costs, and potentially lowering alkalinity to reduce wear on parts.

Vitech International Launches NSW4, a DEA and NPE free bucket wash concentrate

Building on the success of the previous generations of NSW technology, NSW4 is a response to the growing concerns and Prop65 regulations regarding the use of DEA and Cocamide DEA. Taking it one step further to help limit the need for further customer reformulations due to regulatory changes NSW4 is also NPE free. NSW4 is a foaming bucket wash concentrate with superior water bead properties that leaves a durable and long lasting wax-like finish and reduces drying times following wash. It also thickens on dilution making it easy to use and formulate with. NSW4 can also be used as a foaming spray wax in auto car wash as well as coin-op car wash.

Vitech International Launches CHD4 Surfactant

In response to the growing health concerns and regulatory issues (Prop65) surrounding materials such as DEA, cocamide DEA, and MEA, Vitech International proudly introduces CHD4, our next generation DEA-free surfactant for use in hand soaps (gel and foam), bucket washes, body washes, and other areas where these more harmful chemistries are used. CHD4 is naturally derived, mild on skin, and is liquid, which makes it an easy to use alternative versus flake materials requiring heat.

Vitech International Awarded Patent for M5 Acid Replacement

Launched in 2006, M5 has been the ONLY acidic technology that can be shipped non-regulated via ground, marine, and air transport. On May 28th, it was officially issued the United States patent surrounding this innovative, low pH organic salt chemistry. Ideal for use in retail descaling applications where safety and ease of use is paramount, but where performance relative to traditional acids is still a must, M5 has been and remains a strong opportunity for our customers.

Vitech International Awarded Patent for Hydrofluoric Acid Replacements

Launched in 2008 and the winner of the EPA's Pollution Prevention Award the following year, on March 5th Vitech's ALB, and its partner chemistry APW, were officially issued a United States patent surrounding these innovative new chemistries. As safe alternatives to hydrofluoric acid, ALB and APW offer strong performance relative to hydrofluoric, without the serious health effects on workers and their safety, as well as the damage to glass and metal surfaces that can occur with HF based products.
