Analysis – Consultancy – Solution
This is how we solved the problem
Step 1
Analysis & stocktaking
The customer complained about deposits of sole material consisting of the main components polyol and isocyanate on his aluminium moulds. As aluminium is not always an easy material to handle, the customer turned to Eco-Nova to solve the problem together. The current cleaner was a simple neutral cleaner with high compatibility but insufficient cleaning effect.
Step 2
Consultancy & demonstration
It was made clear during the preliminary discussion that the aluminium moulds are very delicate and must not be damaged by the cleaning process under any circumstances. This applies to both the short and long term, e.g. due to gradual wear and tear. It was therefore clear that the cleaner itself must not corrode the aluminium and, furthermore, that mechanical assistance should be used as little as possible. Various cleaners were tested, all of which do not corrode aluminium.
Step 3
Solution
After analysing the cleaning results with 4 cleaners, our innovative Nova Safe S solvent was the most effective. In addition to the best cleaning effect, all other criteria were also met, so the decision was made quickly and the customer is now cleaning safely and effectively with Nova Safe S.
What our customer says
We are grateful to Eco-Nova for supporting us in our search for a better solution for the less than optimal cleaning process and for ultimately helping us to find a solution with Nova Safe S. Our employees now need significantly less time and effort than before, which has optimised our processes.
