Dürr and Chemetall Partner for VOC-free Cleaners
Appears in Print as: 'Industry Partnership Creates Low-Concentration Cleaners'
Dürr and Chemetall are furthering their VOC-free cleaning partnership with Gardostrip P, powered by the companies’ EcoFlush Zero technology.
Edited by Evan Doran
Dürr and Chemetall recently formed a contract for their partnership in creating the volatile organic compound-free (VOC) purge cleaner Gardostrip P series, powered by EcoFlush Zero – a cleaning agent the two companies already formed together. Currently the global partnership is focused on Europe, with plans to expand.
Products based on the EcoFlush Zero solution are VOC-free, low-odor, non-flammable and do not foam at room temperature. The companies say this particular solution line is also effective at lower concentrations than competing products – a 1.5% concentration a opposed to 3% or 5%. These advancements reduce costs for transport and storage while reducing consumption.
Dürr and Chemetall recommend the Gardostrip P purge cleaner series for all one-component and two-component water-borne primers and base coats. Dürr particularly points out the success of its VOC-free cleaning mediums in the automotive industry.
