How green alternatives are driving safety and profitability in MRO and production processes

For more than a century, maintenance and repair operations as well as industrial production processes have used toxic solvents to clean contaminants from metal parts. However, in recent years solvents have come under increased scrutiny for their health and environmental risks — and as more companies have come to understand the benefits of safe and sustainable operating practices — solvent users have been seeking greener alternatives.

With the emergence of aqueous (water-based) technology, there’s a cost-effective, environmentally friendly option for cleaning and degreasing metal parts and components. Green solutions — such as Bio-Circle cleaning products — protect the environment, improve workplace safety and reduce industrial waste and operating costs.    

Learn how aqueous cleaning agents work, and why switching to these methods can help contribute to a safer, more sustainable and more profitable workplace.
