Cataclean marks 30 years of driving down emissions

This month sees Liverpool-based additives brand, Cataclean, celebrate its 30th anniversary.

Founded in 1995, Cataclean was developed in response to growing concerns about vehicle emissions, beginning with a mission to clean catalytic converters without removal. Today, it has evolved into an 8-in-1 fuel and exhaust system cleaner trusted around the world.

Cataclean’s patented, flagship 8‑in‑1 formula cleans carbon from injectors, combustion chambers, catalytic converters, DPFs, EGR valves, oxygen sensors, fuel lines, even in motorcycles and garden machinery, with one easy-to-use, pour and go solution.

The company said the formula delivers a reduction of up to 60% in emissions, improves MPG and restores engine performance to reduce costly repairs and downtime.

‘Trusted’

Co-founder Ross Baigent said: “From humble beginnings to becoming trusted by garages, motorsport teams, retailers and motor factors worldwide, our mission remains the same: provide real-world, effective solutions for cleaner, more efficient engines and backed by integrity and performance.”

Cataclean entered the US market in the early 2010s and has since expanded its distribution to over 30 countries but remains independently owned and headquartered in Liverpool.

The product is available across the UK aftermarket via major distributors and retailers including Halfords, Euro Car Parts, Amazon, Motor Parts Direct, Alliance Automotive Group, GSF Car Parts, and service centres.
