Ultra Chem Labs

What Ultra Chem Labs does

Ultra Chem Labs is a Diamond Bar, California-based manufacturer and seller of cleaning products founded in 1996 by Dr. John Shieh. The company develops and produces a broad portfolio spanning carpet care (CLEAN ALL-IN-ONE, D-ODOR, PROTECTOR), floor care finishes and strippers (Quantum, Quantum-X, High Gloss Flex Gold and Platinum, Titanium SRT, Lift Off), general cleaning and disinfection (Ultra Q128, Bathroom and Grout Cleaner, Heavy Duty Degreaser), laundry (Ultra White Detergent, Ultra Soft Softener), and a Pure Science professional line. Its products are built around a proprietary Electrolytic Cleaning Technology (ECT) that neutralizes ionic charges on surfaces rather than relying on pH, harsh caustics, or high temperatures, and is paired with sub-technologies such as Bottom Up Drying, Non Styrene Polymer, Polycyclic Reinforced Shield, Kinetic Absorption, and Selective Implosion. The company holds Green Seal certification and positions its formulations as biodegradable with low VOCs.

Ultra Chem Labs serves three primary customer sets: commercial facilities needing floor, carpet, laundry, and general cleaning solutions; healthcare facilities requiring pathogen-resistant finishes and disinfection; and individual consumers and micro-businesses. Its go-to-market combines an authorized dealer network with a Find a Dealer tool searchable to a 500-mile radius, a branded Amazon Store for consumer and small-business sales, and direct enterprise field sales supported by on-site product demonstrations. The company also operates a Private Label Program that lets other firms sell UCL technology under their own brands and a UCL Chemical Dispensing Program that bundles chemical proportioning hardware with consumable supply.

The business model is primarily one-time product sales through commercial dealers and Amazon, supplemented by licensing-style private label revenue and hardware-plus-consumable recurring revenue from the dispensing program. Pricing is quote-based for commercial accounts and standard retail through Amazon, with no publicly disclosed price list. The company describes itself as family-owned, with no disclosed institutional investment, funding rounds, or parent company relationships in the source materials.

Broad incumbents

• Diversey (Solenis): Diversey, now part of Solenis, supplies commercial and institutional cleaning, sanitation, and hygiene chemicals with strong floor-care and disinfection portfolios. Competes head-on with Ultra Chem Labs in commercial accounts, with deeper global distribution and larger sales force.
• SC Johnson Professional: SC Johnson Professional is the commercial division of SC Johnson offering facility cleaning, floor care, hand hygiene, and disinfectants to commercial customers. It directly overlaps Ultra Chem Labs' floor-care and commercial cleaning product lines, especially in healthcare and hospitality channels, but extends well beyond Ultra's narrow specialty chemistry niche.
• Ecolab: Ecolab is the dominant global commercial cleaning, sanitizing, and floor-care chemistry provider serving hospitality, healthcare, food service, and industrial facilities. It competes directly with Ultra Chem Labs in I&I floor care and dispensing programs, but at vastly larger scale and with broader product breadth including pest elimination and water treatment.
• 3M Commercial Solutions: 3M Commercial Solutions offers floor pads, cleaners, and facility maintenance solutions used by janitorial and building-services contractors. Comparable to Ultra Chem Labs' floor-care chemistry + Ultra X/XC diamond pad programs, though 3M offers a much broader industrial and consumer portfolio.
• Reckitt Professional (including Ecolab legacy brands): Reckitt Professional is the B2B division of Reckitt Benckiser selling disinfection, cleaning, and hygiene products into commercial, healthcare, and foodservice channels. Competes with Ultra Chem Labs' disinfection and general cleaning products but at global consumer-goods scale.
• Clorox Professional: Clorox Professional Products, the B2B arm of The Clorox Company, supplies disinfectants, sanitizers, and cleaning products to commercial facilities, healthcare, and hospitality. Directly competes with Ultra Chem Labs' Q128 disinfectant and bathroom/kitchen cleaning lines, but with mass-market scale and household brand reach.

• Betco Corporation: Betco is a US-based manufacturer of professional cleaning products, floor finishes, disinfectants, and equipment, selling through distributors to commercial and institutional customers. Directly comparable to Ultra Chem Labs in product portfolio (floor care, disinfectants), go-to-market (dealer/distributor), and target segments (education, healthcare, commercial).
• Zep Inc. Zep manufactures and distributes professional cleaning and maintenance products for industrial, institutional, and commercial customers through a national sales force and distributor network. Comparable to Ultra Chem Labs in commercial cleaning chemistry focus and channel strategy (distributor + direct).
• Simple Green (Sunshine Makers): Simple Green is a privately held US manufacturer of environmentally preferable cleaning products sold through retail and commercial channels.
