What Is FAD Green-Shield and Why Is It Chemex's Highlighted Product?

Updated

FAD Green-Shield is the all-purpose cleaner and sanitiser that Chemex names as the star of its product range. According to the Chemex website, it combines cleaning and disinfection in one product, uses an environmentally friendly advanced formula, and is positioned to support the company's core promise: the right product for the right job, with no need to re-clean. It suits businesses that want one product to handle everyday surface cleaning and sanitising while saving time, effort and money.

What the Chemex website says about FAD Green-Shield

The site introduces FAD Green-Shield in its "Our top products" section with three specific claims:

  • Two jobs in one: it is an all-purpose cleaner and sanitiser, rather than a single-purpose product.
  • Environmental profile: it is described as having an "environmentally friendly advanced formu[la]" (the excerpt cuts off at this point).
  • Range context: it sits within a wider set of "innovative cleaning products" that Chemex says effectively clean and disinfect all types of surfaces.

The page does not publish a full ingredient list, dilution ratios, contact times, certification details or pricing for FAD Green-Shield. Those details would need to be confirmed directly with Chemex, for example through the site visit the company invites businesses to book with a local expert.

Why Chemex highlights it

Chemex frames its whole business around saving customers "invaluable time, effort and money" by getting cleaning right the first time. FAD Green-Shield fits that message in three ways:

  1. It demonstrates the "clean once, clean right" idea. A product that cleans and sanitises in one step reduces the risk of re-cleaning a surface, which is exactly the outcome Chemex says its products are designed to deliver.
  2. It shows the innovation claim in practice. Chemex describes itself as a manufacturer and innovator in cleaning, hygiene and infection control systems. Naming a specific advanced-formula product gives that claim a concrete example.
  3. It appeals across industries. Chemex lists care homes, automotive, catering and hospitality, sports and leisure, manufacturing, healthcare, nurseries and education, food manufacturing, and ambulance and healthcare among the sectors it covers. A versatile all-purpose cleaner and sanitiser is relevant to most of them, which makes it a sensible flagship product.

Who it may suit — and what to check first

FAD Green-Shield is worth considering if you want to simplify a cleaning routine by using one product for general surface cleaning and sanitising, and if an environmentally friendly formulation is a priority for your business or your clients.

Before adopting it, confirm the practical details that the website excerpt does not cover:

  • Approved uses and surfaces: check which surface types and settings Chemex recommends it for.
  • Dilution and method: ask for the correct dilution and application guidance so results match the "no need to re-clean" promise.
  • Compliance evidence: if you operate in healthcare, care homes or food manufacturing, ask what documentation Chemex can provide to support your compliance requirements — the company states that helping clients maintain compliance is part of its offer.
  • Training: Chemex says it trains clients' staff on cost control and effective cleaning processes, so ask whether product training for FAD Green-Shield is included.
  • Cost in use: the site emphasises value for money but does not list prices. Compare cost per diluted litre or per task rather than sticker price alone.

How to evaluate it for your business

A simple way to test the claims is to run a short trial in one area — for example, a kitchen prep surface or a care home communal area — and compare it with your current routine on three measures: time per clean, whether surfaces need a second pass, and staff feedback on ease of use. Chemex's offer of a site visit with a local expert is the natural starting point for getting the missing technical and compliance information before you commit.
