10 Tuesday, November 19, 2013 INTERCON SHOWCASES CLEARLY BETTER SOLUTIONS BRANDS Intercon Chemical Company's Clearly Better Solutions brands will be showcased in booth 2768 at the Intercon exhibit, allowing attendees the opportunity to experience Clearly Better Solutions' products one-on-one, in a format that accentuates their utility and value across a broad spectrum of industries. Clearly Better Solutions brand products and programs are designed to bring breakthrough technologies to market in cleaning, disinfection, sanitization, air treatment and odor control. The company offers programs under its Smart Drains, Smart Floors, Smart Air, Clearly Better Scents and Clearly Better Medical brands. For 30 years, Intercon has been the brand that stands for quality. That legacy continues with these Clearly Better brands that offer industry-specific benefits to meet customer needs in a changing and complex marketplace. The world has changed since 1982, but Intercon knows that its customers' basic needs remain the same. "Our approach to our customers is always collaborative. Through our training programs, we provide tools to educate and support our customers' programs. We are proud that many of our customers have been with us for over 25 years," said Jim Epstein, President, Intercon Chemical Company/Clearly Better Solutions. One product in particular to be the featured centerpiece in Clearly Better Solutions' booth at ISSA/Interclean, is PURE Disinfectant and Sanitizer, a new, patented people friendly disinfectant. Epstein added, "PURE is very fast at killing germs, is simple to use and is residual on surfaces for 24 hours!" PURE is a stabilized silver ion molecule that is benign to humans, yet toxic to bacteria, fungus, germs and viruses such antibiotic resistant bacteria, carbapenem-resistant GET CREATIVE WITH SPRINGBOARD'S GOURMET BIODIESEL OPTION In an industry with slim margins, where every restaurant must concentrate on profitability, new same-store profit streams are invaluable. That's why starting a Gourmet Biodiesel™ program that converts used cooking oil into biodiesel fuel provides either chain or mom & pop stores with a meaningful additional profit stream: approximately $300 of profit for every 100 gallons of used cooking oil that can be processed. If you have the oil, equipment manufacturer Springboard Biodiesel has the biodiesel-processing appliance: The BioPro™. This compact machine comes in three sizes (40, 50 and 100 gallons) and will convert used cooking oil into premium grade biodiesel in 23 hours. The best part about it: it's incredibly easy to operate. Pour or pump your cooking oil into this solid state appliance, add your other inputs, and press the big green start button. The machine does the rest. The BioPro's marketing reach continues to expand as restaurateurs and institutions in 14 countries and in all 50 states recognize that they can make a profit and a difference by converting fats and oils into a clean-burning fuel that will run in any diesel engine (neat or mixed with diesel at any ratio). And depending on which environmental report you read, biodiesel emits 78 to 90 Cleaning News Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), which has been rated as an "urgent" threat and considered an immediate public health threat that requires urgent and aggressive action by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). PURE is a revolutionary breakthrough in the battle against germs. PURE kills germs in as little as 30 seconds, GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) and the perfect alternative to bleach which does not provide any residual protection on hard surfaces. SDC, the patented ingredient in PURE Disinfectant and Sanitizer, is also used to safely treat drinking water in areas where poor water quality is a risk. When it comes to quality, chemical formulations and sensitive scent management, customers want to make a positive impression on their guests, clients and customers every time. One bad odor experience, germs, drain flies or clogged drains can leave a lasting percent less CO2 than regular diesel and approximately 50 percent less particulate matter. Therefore, if you're feeling creative, additional real green marketing can be factored into the already attractive Gourmet Biodiesel opportunity. "I was on the board of Directors of the California Restaurant Association for many years," said Sacramento-based restaurant owner Sam Manolakas. "And I don't know why more restaurants aren't doing this. With diesel at $4 per gallon, I'm making biodiesel in a BioPro for 95 cents per gallon." Manolakas pumps his fuel directly out of his BioPro and into his Mercedes Sprinter delivery van which runs "almost exclusively on biodiesel." Sierra Nevada Brewery in Chico, Calif., has made more than 8,000 gallons of biodiesel in its BioPro 190. They collect the UCO from the "Tap Room" at the negative impression. It's a mistake that is easy to avoid with Intercon Chemical Clearly Company's Better Solutions brands. Clearly Better Solutions is on the forefront of the industry, with products such as Clearly Better Medical Brand's PURE, Clearly Better Solutions' Brands Smart Drain, Smart Floors, Smart Air and Clearly Better Scents targeting the areas of commercial kitchens and medical facilities that need the most attention. These products and solutions take the brand a step beyond the rest, which is just one reason why they are "Clearly Better."

"Our BioPro 190 fits perfectly into our sustainability program," said Assistant Sustainability coordinator Mandi McKay. "Our philosophy at the brewery is to close the loop on waste whenever we can and one of the ways we do that is with the BioPro." The BioPro EX, the company's latest model, won a KI award at last year's show and was subsequently endorsed by the Green Restaurant Association.
