For more than 35 years, Franmar has been synonymous with green innovation. We are a family-owned business in Bloomington, Illinois that believes people should be able to undertake cleaning and restoration projects without risking their health or harming the environment.
Franmar’s powerful products rely on the power of American-grown soybeans rather than harsh chemicals like methylene chloride, muriatic acid or trisodium phosphate (TSP). Soy-based solvents are an affordable, superior alternative because they can easily penetrate coatings, adhesives, grease, asphalt and more, without noxious odors or side effects.
Franmar’s innovations include nearly two dozen products that are part of the BLUE BEAR line, including paint strippers, mastic removers and surface cleaners that are ideal for DIYers. They don’t require professional expertise or a lot of protective equipment, and are convenient for projects in living spaces like basements or kitchens.
Customer reviews tout our products as “amazing,” “unbelievable” and “best in the world.”
