Drano is the No. 1 drain cleaning product manufacturer in the North American market, and its parent company, SC Johnson Group, is a world-renowned manufacturer of cleaning products, insecticide products and personal care products.
After the acquisition of the Drano by SC Johnson, the market performance has also been so strong that almost every American household uses Drano products. According to Statisti's statistics, in 2016, the Drano ranked first in the US market with a market share of up to 45%, but the Drano has not yet entered the Chinese market, but Mr. Vermeer, who is the same teacher as Drano, also has a pipe dredging agent, although the performance is slightly worse than Drano, but it is still an alternative.
Drano's plumbing products mainly include Max Gel and Dual-Force, both of which are priced at around $5 on Amazon in the United States, and each bottle can be used twice at a low cost. The composition of the two products is also identical, the difference is in the physical form, Max Gel is a gel and Dual-Force is a foam.
Max Gel series is Drano's main product, and is subdivided into Max Gel, Max Gel Professonial and Max Gel Commercial Line in terms of packaging, mainly in terms of specifications and active ingredient content, Max Gel is a basic model for home use, Max Gel Professonial is an upgraded version for home use, and Commercial Line is a large-size package, mainly for commercial users, of which only Max Gel alone has a 20% share of the North American market.
Max Gel is an upgraded version of the previous best-selling model, Max, which replaces the traditional sulfuric acid with the relative safety of sodium hypochlorite and sodium hydroxide, which react with water in the drain pipe to release gases, which are then captured as dense foam by surfactants and evenly adhered to the inside of the water pipes, thereby removing blockages. According to Bestreviews, Max Gel takes only 7 minutes to take effect after use, which is slightly shorter than Liquid-Plumr's counterpart.
Max Gel Professonial has added 35% of the active ingredient to the regular version, which has a stronger dredging effect, but due to the higher concentration and viscosity, it will adhere to the dirt for a longer time after use, and the onset time may be slightly slower than that of the basic model.
Although the merchant advertises the Max Gel series of products can unclog the toilet, the actual effect is not ideal, and the gel-like chemicals are easy to stick to the toilet seat, which is not easy to remove, and it is easy to leave safety hazards.
The Dual-Force series is Drano's new foam-type dredging agent product launched in recent years, which has the advantages of fast action, easy use, odor removal, and more environmental protection, and quickly occupies a place in the market, with sales increasing by 18.6% in 2016 alone. Its active ingredients are both sodium hypochlorite and sodium hydroxide, and although the concentration is lower than that of Max Gel, the foam form can be directly in contact with the blockage without dissolving, and the effect is fast and the effect is good.
