With the onset of above-zero temperatures, Russian megacities are beginning their traditional spring street cleaning. To efficiently tidy up road infrastructure after the winter season, the Ural Plant of Deicing Materials (UZPM), a leading Russian manufacturer of modern winter and off-season road maintenance products under the Bionord brand, offers municipal services a specialized cleaning agent Bionord Shampoo.
The transition period requires special attention to cleaning quality: over the winter, roads accumulate not only sand residue but also complex contaminants such as petroleum product stains, fats, and oils. Bionord Shampoo has been designed specifically for the comprehensive cleaning of road surfaces, sidewalks, pedestrian zones, and urban infrastructure elements.
According to test results, the product is 15 times more effective than water in dealing with road dirt and more than 7 times more effective in removing oil-based stains. A special defoamer in the shampoo’s formula eliminates excessive foaming, which significantly facilitates the operation of specialized machinery and reduces surface rinsing time.
“The product does not just wash away visible dirt, it simplifies general road maintenance while ensuring the preservation of road markings and information signs,” notes Aleksandr Lagutin, Leading Sales Manager at UZPM Trading House. “An important advantage is its anti-static effect and the reduction of dust formation. Owing to this, streets stay clean longer, even with heavy traffic.”
The product safety is confirmed by a sanitary and epidemiological report and a positive conclusion of the state environmental appraisal. Bionord Shampoo belongs to the 4th hazard class (low-hazard), making it harmless to the urban ecosystem subject to compliance with the application standards.
The practical experience in the regions has proven the product’s versatility. Bionord Shampoo is successfully used in the street and road networks of cities like Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Ufa, and others. It was also utilized to eliminate the consequences of the May flooding in Perm and for cleaning monuments in Veliky Novgorod. The formulation helps the streets to look well cared for and significantly reduces expenses on repeated cleaning cycles.
