How to Cut your MIL PRF 680 Solvent Usage and VOC's by up to 90%

MIL PRF 680 Types II, IV and V – all compatible

Ecolink partners with Clarus Technologies for MIL PRF 680 Type II, IV, and V to promote the PCS-35 total immersion solvent-based parts washer to tackle your toughest job. The PCS-35 is easy to use with many automated features that save time and money. Simply load parts into the gridded basket, choose a cycle duration from the touch screen panel and walk away! A high degree of cleanliness is achieved in a shorter amount of time with no handling or scrubbing.

Ecolink was the only Georgia organization to receive multiple awards from Conserve Georgia and Georgia Department of Natural Resources – Sustainability Division.

Oregon Senate Bill 737 – Cleaners, Degreasers and Solvents Hit List

Persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) chemicals under legislative review

Oregon Senate Bill 737 presents big challenges to municipalities and businesses on the “hot seat” to reduce persistent pollutants in water. EcoBiz, an ecological business certification program, is a voluntary multi-media approach that recognizes businesses who adopt a set of sustainable practices. This program is now being seen as a practical and adaptable “Plug & Play” template to foster wide-ranging business practice change, as well as a model for municipalities to meet the requirements imposed by regulatory drivers. Learn how Oregon is taking a proactive leadership position that will secure safe water for future generations. Aliphatic hydrocarbons, dioxins, pesticides, phenols, phthalates, PBBs, PBDE, PCBs, polychlorinated naphthalenes, PAHs, semi-volatile organic compounds are all evaluated for toxicity and adverse effects to drinking water supply.

Pollution Prevention Resource Center is an ‘essential’ resource to learn more about this important issue. Ecolink Inc. is doing their part to work with government, academic and industry in the design and development of next generation cleaning technology including: all purpose cleaner degreaser, citrus solvent degreaser, d limonene degreaser, heavy duty degreasers, metal degreaser, non flammable degreaser, solvent degreasers and parts degreasers as well as alternatives to ZEP® citrus degreaser, ZEP® cleaner degreaser, ZEP® degreaser and ZEP® orange degreaser.

Who Says ZEP Cleaner Degreaser is Green?

 

 

Zep Products

 

 

Zep® Cleaning Supplies Invade 2010 National Environmental Summit

Each year at the National Environmental Summit, the exhibit hall displays green products, green services, recycling programs, and all things green and sustainable. This year Zep® showcased their garden variety of industrial cleaners including:

Zep® Cleaning Products and the environment. I did a double take to make sure I was at the right venue. After reading over their ‘green’ product marketing literature and comparing to their track record and more than 70 years of corporate history, we had to blow the whistle and set the record straight.

 

According to http://www.zepinc.com/aboutus/history/, “since its beginning in Atlanta, Georgia in 1937, Zep Inc.’s focus has been to offer customers the widest selection of top-quality industrial cleaning products with superior personal service and professional technical support. By the early 1990s, NSI’s strategic business acquisitions and dispositions had left it with five other key divisions beyond chemicals: lighting (the precursor division to Acuity Brands Lighting, Inc.), linen supplies, insulation, envelopes, and marketing services. The mix changed again by the late 1990s as more dispositions and acquisitions were made, including the purchase in 1997 of Enforcer Products, Inc., a maker of home and garden products such as insecticides and herbicides, and plumbing and cleaning solutions. Together, the Zep®, Selig™, Enforcer® and National Chemical® brands were maintained under NSI Chemicals Group until it became Acuity Specialty Products, Inc., a business segment of Acuity Brands, Inc., in 2001 during the latter’s spin off from National Services Industries, Inc. 2007, Acuity Brands, Inc., announced plans to separate Acuity Specialty Products, Inc., from its sister company, Acuity Brands Lighting, Inc., and to rename the new independent, public company Zep Inc.” Translation: We’re all about making $ through acquiring and disposing of companies and brands. We’re not sure who we are or who we ever will be. Cleaners always on the menu but what about some lighting, linens, envelopes, marketing services or X, Y or Z? They have held true to their original charter of offering the widest selection. But greenest?

To answer their green claims of fame: according to http://www.zepinc.com/aboutus/environment/, “Zep GreenLink™ product range is but one example of our commitment to environmentally conscious product development. The line includes products certified by Green Seal®, EcoLogo, and the EPA’s Design for the Environment (DfE) program. We also have our own standards, which certify eligible products as Environmentally Preferred Products. All Zep GreenLink™ products meet the same demanding, 17-point formulation criteria.” Translation: We offer Enforcer® insecticides and herbicides but ‘now’ we’re green since we offer a small % of green products from more than 3,500 detergents, disinfectants, hand cleaners, degreasers, deodorants, lubricants, floor finishes and car-care products. It is good that they offer some green options but heed warning when consuming their spin marketing. Walking by their trade booth gives the impression that they have a long history of environmental leadership. Their website and track record speak for themselves. Please keep this in mind when perusing their website, literature or engaging in a product demonstration. As a publicly traded company, they are committed to economic sustainability in the form of stock valuation. Their meager green offering is neither original, transparent or authentic. Kindly ignore this big bad wolf disguised under green sheep’s wool.
