Non-volatile cleaner
April 1st 2006

A non-volatile cleaner is available from Chymera Group as an alternative to using hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Acrastrip is a blend of solvent, surfactant and water that cleans cured and uncured resins, epoxies, paints and oils, adhesives and sealants from surfaces, pipework, spray and chop guns and containers.

The product can be used for washing by hand or in an industrial washing machine.

Mark Wareing, MD, comments "Many solvents, collectively called VOCs, are hazardous, toxic and environmentally damaging and many companies are looking for safer alternatives that are both effective and easy to use.

"In addition to being safer to use than VOCs, waste naturally separates meaning Acrastrip can be reused, giving significant financial savings."
