Methyl Ethyl Ketone and Acetone are cost-effective, highly effective solvents, but have high potential toxic side effects on human health and the environment. Creating a  safer workplace and reducing pollution are real concerns for business leaders. Finding alternatives and deploying them in the workplace  are a constant struggle.

If you’re looking for environmentally friendly solvents for the workplace you will want to invest 20 minutes to listen to The Green Solvents Show podcast. Host Erik Reynolds interviews Dave Pasin, president of TBF Environmental, about environmentally friendly solvent, TergoSol ^©, a replacement for MEK and Acetone.

Listening to the content will inform you how replacing toxic cleaning chemicals doesn’t mean you have to compromise on quality results.

Dave speaks about the problems which he has found with the current options available. These have included Acetone which has low flash point that can burn the skin, be a central nervous system depressant and has a bad odour. These issues make it unpleasant for employees to work with and are the driving forces behind business leaders seeking a better solution.

There are some ethanol based solutions, but they are not VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) exempt, so as Dave explained, although they are green they don’t fill the need.

A new solution has been required in the marketplace which addresses the following concerns:

• 
  
• fast evaporation
  
• no residue
  
• VOC-exempt
  
• benzene free
  
• safer for your employees
  

If any of these issues concern you then Dave’s comments will be of interest to you.  The new option available has been fully tested by Scientific Materials International, a company certified for aerospace materials testing.

TergoSol passed rigorous testing including the sandwich corrosion, hydrogen embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking tests. Thus, as Dave explains, there is an option out there for businesses to use which is efficient, effective and safe while maintaining a green status.

There is a demand out there for an environmentally safe cleaner which gives great results. TergoSol is widely distributed across North America. So if you are interested in a VOC-exempt and fast evaporating cleaner – listen to the podcast and leave your thoughts here with us.
