New study compares vapour degreasing solvents
EnSolv is reported as having been shown to be one of the safest of all the commercially available alternatives to Trichloroethylene for vapour degreasing
* 78% considered it vital to reduce levels of chemical use and with it create less emissions to atmosphere.
* 70% demanded reliability in the quality of products they used in their cleaning processes.
* 64% said regard for the environment was an issue.
Most delegates attending the roadshow were users of Trichloroethylene (Trike), a known carcinogen, and were searching for a suitable alternative.
When asked if existing product suppliers had offered technical support to help them understand and meet legislation needs, 70% said they had infrequent contact fom their supplier.
Though it will always be a factor in assessment only 30% indicated price as their top five priority with 70% indicating performance and real value for money was more essential.
Asked to design their ideal solvent for vapour degreasing the following characteristics were highlighted: low toxicity; non flammable; high solvency power; mid-boiling point; helpful in reducing consumption and emissions; not classified as a carcinogen; no measurable residue; compatible with light alloys; non ozone depleting; low global warming potential; capable of use in existing equipment.
A comparison of each of these needs confirmed EnSolv as fully meeting these criteria.
