Remove adhesive residue: NSF-certified & solvent-free [2026]
Removing Adhesive Residues: NSF-Certified & Solvent-Free
"Adhesive residues can only be removed with aggressive chemicals."
False. It also works without solvents – and better.
HATOCH® Adhesive Remover is NSF-certified – meaning it's tested for use in food processing facilities, hospitals, and sensitive environments.
If it works there, it works everywhere.
What NSF Certification Means
NSF International is an independent organization that tests products for safety and performance.
NSF-certified means:
- Suitable for food contact surfaces
- No harmful residues
- Tested effectiveness and safety
- Use in sensitive areas (catering, medical, pharmaceutical)
If professionals in critical environments trust it – so can you.
This One Factor Determines If Removal Is Possible
The strength of the adhesive is not the problem – but the method of removal.
Solvent-based products:
- Attack plastic (yellowing, cracks)
- Damage paints and coatings
- Leave oily residues
- Endanger health and the environment
HATOCH® takes a different approach: Solvent-free. NSF-certified. Material-friendly.
