Reducing from two products to one, working safer, cleaner, and more efficiently.

Description of the Situation

In a construction involving reinforced concrete and prestressed steel cables, "Anchors," or steel clamps, are used to tension and hold the cables. Assembly paste was used to secure these clamps, but due to the high forces involved, the clamps often got stuck. Loosening these clamps was a time-consuming and ergonomically unfriendly task, partly due to the limited space. Additionally, cleaning the steel clamps with the used cleaning agents was ineffective in removing the assembly paste.
