Green chemistry, also known as sustainable chemistry, is a discipline of chemistry that focuses on reducing the usage and production of environmentally dangerous substances in order to decrease the chemical industry’s impact on the environment. Green Chemistry and Solvents When green chemistry is applied to the formulation and utilization of industrial solvents, sustainable chemical management […]
All types of chemical degreasers have one thing in common: They are chemically formulated to break up accumulations of grease and similar substances. Beyond this central commonality, however, degreasers can differ widely, especially when it comes to comparing professional degreasers that are designed for commercial and industrial use to consumer degreasers that are designed for […]
The U.S. Department of Health’s National Toxicology Program (NTP) identifies nPB as a solvent that is “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen” — a finding based on laboratory experiments that expose mice to nBP and measure the results on the physiology of the animals. Experiential data gathered from work environments where nPB is used […]
In today’s world, many laboratories and industrial settings utilize costly solvents in daily operations and dispose of them shortly after. This practice of not recycling used solvents is not cost effective. To combat this practice, CBG Technologies developed a wide array of solvent distillers that heat liquid waste and then separate, purify and cool the […]
Over the past 20 years, nPB (a.k.a. n-propyl bromide and 1-bromopropane) has become a go-to solvent in numerous industries, from dry cleaning, to furniture construction, to asphalt production. During roughly the same time period, OSHA and the EPA have steadily studied the health dangers of the solvent based on scientific investigation. What emerges is a […]
