Sustainability

Protection that respects the environment.

We answer to documented standards and to the world we operate in. On-site solar power, the Selo Verde green seal and safer chemistry are part of how we manufacture, not an afterthought.

On-site solar
Every process but the reactors runs on solar.
Selo Verde green seal

Clean energy & green seal

Powered by the sun, recognized for it.

A full rooftop solar array powers our processing, packaging and quality lab, every process at the plant but the reactors runs on on-site solar generation. Paired with the Selo Verde green seal for socio-environmental responsibility, it lowers the footprint of the products you formulate with.

Barium-free technology

We build corrosion protection without barium.

For decades the most common rust-preventive corrosion inhibitors were built on barium sulfonates. Barium is a heavy metal, and water-soluble barium compounds are toxic, which makes them harder and more expensive to handle, dispose of and regulate. Across metalworking fluids, rust preventives and lubricants, the industry is steadily moving away from them.

Our calcium-sulfonate technology, led by Dewox 193 D, is completely barium- and heavy-metal-free, and accelerated salt-spray testing shows calcium-based packages can match or beat barium on protection.

  • Heavy-metal-free
    No barium in the package, so no toxic heavy metal in your fluid.
  • Simpler disposal
    Avoids barium-bearing hazardous waste and its higher disposal cost.
  • Lower exposure risk
    Safer handling for plant operators and your end users.
  • No performance trade-off
    Calcium-sulfonate chemistry holds 60h+ ASTM B117 salt-spray.

Our commitments

Recognized for responsible practice.

Solar-powered operations

Every process but the reactors runs on on-site solar generation, lowering the carbon footprint of the products we ship.

Selo Verde green seal

Recognized for sustainable practices and socio-environmental responsibility with the Selo Verde award.

Safer chemistry

Barium-free, heavy-metal-free packages such as Dewox 193 D protect metal without compromising worker or environmental safety.

Efficient formulation

Bases designed for low-temperature performance and long protection cycles reduce reapplication and waste.
