Industrial cleaning explained in simple terms
In our technical articles, we answer questions that customers in the fields of production, maintenance and health and safety ask us every day: Which cleaner removes a particular type of contamination? How can a solvent subject to labelling requirements be replaced? And what rules apply to labelling, storage and transport?
Targeted removal of contaminants
Whether it’s bitumen on construction machinery, adhesive residue on tools, ink on coding systems or paint residue on rollers – every type of contamination requires a suitable method. We explain when mechanical methods, heat or a cleaner are the best choice, and what you should bear in mind regarding material compatibility.
Replace hazardous substances
The Hazardous Substances Ordinance requires hazardous substances to be replaced with less hazardous ones where technically feasible. According to their safety data sheets, many of Eco-Nova’s cleaning products are not subject to labelling requirements – this simplifies risk assessment, storage and training.
Rules and labelling
The CLP Regulation, UFI code, UN approval or dangerous goods: we summarise the key requirements in an easy-to-understand way and provide links to the official sources.
