Added at 11:08am, Friday August 7th 2009

The Solvair™ cleaning technology is a real advancement in the science of cleaning garments and other textiles. Solvair combines unsurpassed soil and stain removal with environmental friendliness in a practical, sustainable, cost effective system. The Solvair cleaning process offers tangible benefits for both drycleaning business operators and their customers, including high productivity, longer garment life, and fewer garment claims.

DESIGNED FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Equipment, process and features minimize supply use and maximize recovery of solvents. Process controls are designed to enable passive operation for the purpose of eliminating operator errors.

PROCESS FLUIDS HAVE A HISTORY OF SAFE USE

The Solvair system is self-contained to prevent operator exposure to process fluids and waste. The solvent component of the Solvair cleaning fluid has been used for many years in consumer and green formulated cleaning products.

LESS WASTE & MAXIMIZED RECLAMATION & REUSE OF PROCESS FLUIDS

The majority of Solvair cleaning fluid and CO2 is recovered, recycled and reused. Loss rates and usage are significantly lower than current dry cleaning technologies. The initial Solvair cleaning fluid supplied at installation will not need to be replaced in large volume because usage is so low. The small amount of make up cleaning fluid required is included in regular process resupply.

COMPLETELY BIODEGRADABLE

Solvair cleaning fluid is completely biodegradable.

WASTE IS NON HAZARDOUS

The wastes including soils from garments produced by the Solvair process are not classified as hazardous. In the interests of environmental responsibility, however, all process waste will be handled through professional waste disposal methods.

A HIGH FLASH POINT

Solvair fluid has a high flash point of more than 200° F. As a result it is classified as a Class IIIB solvent, and therefore, fire code requirements may be less stringent
