Ecolink 3005 – Looking for a Suitable Replacement?

For many years, companies and organizations that have a diverse set of degreasing and general cleaning needs have used 111 TCA or CFC 113. However, these agents were canceled in December 2013 due to their deleterious effect human health, ozone depletion, and harm to the environment at large. Today, using the chemicals in large quantities will draw a fine from the EPA, and could result in the shutdown of a facility until it’s ready to implement a safer cleaner.

This means that companies that still use the chemical are doing a dangerous dance with the EPA. As mentioned above, if the EPA determines that the solution is still being used, significant fines, and even the shutdown of the facility, could occur until the problem is resolved by implementing a replacement solution. For many companies, FluoSolv is an ideal replacement.
