Making the switch to environmentally preferred solvents is a great way to protect the environment and your team’s health.
But with an array of products labeled as ‘eco-friendly’ on the market, it can be difficult to determine which products are actually safe.
At Ecolink Inc., we’ve been committed to providing greener and leaner chemical solutions for over 30 years, and in this blog post, we’re going to give you our take on the best safe solvent options for industrial use.
What Are ‘Safe’ Industrial Solvents?
‘Safe’ industrial solvents are cleaning products formulated to minimize potential health risks to your team and the planet.
When searching for cleaners, it’s important to check the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) of each product to learn about its formulation. While some products may be marketed as being “eco-friendly,” their SDS can reveal if they actually contain hazardous chemicals that could harm your health.
At Ecolink Inc., our environmentally preferred solvents are formulated with fewer harmful chemicals to put you and the planet’s health first while still ensuring you get the best clean possible.
