18/05/09 - Trichloroethylene news May 2009

Time is running out!

For users of Trichloroethylene the time is drawing ever closer when supply in drums becomes a REAL problem.

The Manufacturers and Legislation CHARTER – Industry Voluntary Commitment – stipulate that they will no longer supply Trichloroethylene after the end of 2009, for use in open top degreasers.

Supply in drums, smaller containers and large metered bulk deliveries will also become a problem and as volumes drop then the viability of bulk purchases becomes non viable.

Supplies of Trichloroethylene WILL be available now and in the future in Safehandling containers, namely SAFE-TAINER™, supplied by SIS Chemicals.

If you haven’t acted yet please contact SIS Chemical Ltd to discuss your options:

ACT NOW BEFORE IT’S TO LATE

Some manufacturers have already withdrawn from supply in drums

05/03/09 - The Vertrel range is now available through SIS

Vertrel® Specialty fluids are widely used in many manufacturing industries for degreasing, deposition, heat transfer and electronics defluxing applications. They are safe to use (non-flammable) and enable a high quality and deep cleaning of hollow and complex shaped parts. Furthermore, they do not support biological growth. Vertrel® is also used to help deposit coatings and lubricants on medical devices.

Environmentally friendly Vertrel® is compatible with many machine equipment such as ultrasonic baths.

Vertrel® products are high-purity fluids providing high and consistent performances. They are often considered as ideal replacement fluids for products such as CFCs, HCFCs, PFCs, 1-1-1 t trichloroethylene, nPB-based solvents, perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene or various aqueous alcohol hydrocarbon based solutions.
