According to the nature and composition of the contamination

In industry, contaminants arise as a result of processing a wide variety of raw materials in production processes typical of the sector. The combination of materials and manufacturing processes results in a wide variety of contaminants.

Cleaning products classified as hazardous are still frequently used. Whilst they are effective, they require protective measures and a risk assessment. Occupational safety specialists, as well as departmental and production managers, are therefore increasingly checking whether hazardous substances can be replaced by less hazardous alternatives – the substitution assessment in accordance with the Hazardous Substances Regulation.

This is exactly where we can help you: many of our industrial cleaners are not classified as hazardous according to their safety data sheets. Our technical advisory team will provide you with personalised, no-obligation advice to help you find the right cleaner for your specific contamination. You will find a shortlist of suitable cleaners listed under each type of contamination.
