“We have chosen this new path with a view to more conscious and ethical development: a key approach that has become increasingly central in our company’s policies” commented Gian Maria Degano, Managing Director of BCF.
Washing is a fundamental phase for many of the company’s products. It is used to degrease and remove shavings or dust from processes before the subsequent welding and/or finishing phases, thus guaranteeing products totally free of impurities and suitable for use in all applications, even the most sensitive, or where the presence of gases requiring perfectly clean pipes and fittings is expected.
Given the limitations that perchloroethylene systems have on the sustainability front, BCF committed to identifying an alternative solution through alcohol-based products with a degreasing power similar to that of chlorinated solvents. The alcoholic solutions chosen are able to guarantee strong degreasing, to evaporate completely without leaving residues and to have a significantly reduced impact on the environment.
